Woman arrested after she tried to kidnap a baby from a Baton Rouge hospital

Selmon faces seven counts of unauthorized entry of a place of business and one count of attempted kidnapping. Both are felonies.

BATON ROUGE, La. — A woman has been arrested for repeatedly sneaking into Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital in Baton Rouge, and trying to kidnap a baby, according to our partners at WBRZ.

Police said Dinesty Selmon was able to get a caregiver badge when she did not have a child in the hospital.

Days later, she took her boyfriend into the room of an infant and told him the baby was theirs, WBRZ reported.

He eventually became skeptical and talked to a nurse.
