TV reporter arrested at hospital nursery
The arrest came a few weeks after a baby was snatched from a Lubbock hospital by a woman in hospital scrubs who allegedly hid the newborn in her purse.
Cecelia Lynn Coy-Jones, 33, a reporter for NBC affiliate KCBD-TV in Lubbock, was dressed in a similar way and carrying a large red bag when she entered Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo on Tuesday evening.
Her questions in the nursery area set off "alarm bells" with security personnel who confronted her, Amarillo police Sgt. Randy TenBrink said. Coy-Jones then identified herself and told security officers she was trying to see how long it would take for them "to respond to a suspicious person," he said.
