A woman accused of trying to abduct an infant from a Duke University Hospital nursery planned a similar crime in Henderson, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Tanisha Weaver, 28, of 18 Shannon Road in Louisburg, is charged with abduction of children. District Judge Brian Wilks raised her bond from $20,000 to $100,000 because of the new allegations against her.
Duke Hospital officials said a woman tried to take a newborn Monday afternoon from the hospital’s North Ancillary, at 2301 Erwin Road. Hospital staff recognized that the woman wasn’t authorized to take the child, called police and detained her until investigators arrived, officials said.
