A 19-year-old Morrow woman was sentenced to 20 years — 10 to be served in prison — Monday after pleading guilty to snatching a newborn from a Clayton County hospital room in January.
Naquelle Sontieq Ballard pleaded guilty to kidnapping and false imprisonment charges for posing as a hospital worker, walking into a room at Southern Regional Medical Center Women’s Life Center around 9 a.m. on Jan. 4 and taking a 2-day-old girl.
