NewsChannel 11 Reporter Released On Bond
Amarillo, TX - While conducting an undercover investigation testing hospital security, Amarillo police arrested NewsChannel 11's Investigative Reporter, Cecelia Jones, at Baptist St. Anthony's Health System. Amarillo police have now charged Cecelia with two counts of attempted aggravated kidnapping. She is out of jail and back in Lubbock.

In the wake of the recent abduction of baby Mychael Darthard-Dawodu from Covenant Lakeside, Cecelia planned a report and went up to Amarillo to test hospital security there. She planned this undercover investigation with station management and consulted with legal council. The plan for the investigation had her mirror the profile of the accused abductor in Lubbock's recent kidnapping case.

#6  Up Close and Personal with the Texas Justice System"... LOL!

Angie, that was my first thought as well. But I can't help feeling it serves her right. It is not really a story to show that you can walk into a maternity ward unnoticed. In order to prove her point that security was poor she would have to have been able to walk out with a baby to prove her point. Additionally, airing an episode like that would have been instructive to potential kidnappers.

They probably wanted to charge her with felony stupidity and since that's not possible....

#5  AC - What, no grief for the cops, who've taken what should have been, at most, a trespassing charge and turned it into aggravated kidnapping? Seems they're the real idiots here.

#3  This is yet another black eye for Lubbock in the national media.
I think it is a conspiracy organized by radical DixieChickistas.
I can't figure out, though, how they persuaded Mayor David Miller to make an ass of himself by repeatedly trying to turn City Council meetings into prayer vigils, or police chief Claude Jones to arrest the Chippendale dancers, or city traffic engineer Jere Hart to persist with the nations's worst red lights, or Councilman Gary Boren to interfere with city personnel matters (thereby forcing his recent resignation), or Cecelia Jones to pull this stunt.
It must be some sort of mind-control technology provided by Chickista collaborators in Oklahoma or some other enemy country. It's them Evil-oo-shunists, or maybe devil-worshipping science cults, I tell you.
For more on the continuing saga of Lubbock's mysterious epidemic of high-profile stupidity, see Pratt on Texas.

Btw, I've mentioned a couple of times on Rantburg that I served a term as mayor of a town in Texas. IT WASN'T LUBBOCK! (And I might deny it if it had been).

#2  Baptist St. Anthony's Hospital

As if the baby unit nurses, aides, Dr. and tecs don't have enough to worry about, now they have ambitious reporters stalking the halls trying to snatch little babies under their care. jeebus for fame and fortune no less.

#1  In the wake of the recent abduction of baby Mychael Darthard-Dawodu

You'd think the kid's name bracelet alone would have pinned him to the incubator.
