A woman in Colorado has been arrested and charged after allegedly trying to kidnap a young child from a mother inside a Walmart but was stopped by quick thinking shoppers.

The city of Alamosa, Colorado posted on Facebook that the police department responded to a call of a kidnapping in progress on Thursday and discovered a woman had grabbed a child who didn’t belong to her from a shopping cart.

I believe the date in the title should be 2/9/23 - not tomorrow's date.

Could she have lost a child or grandchild at some time, saw this child, and thought the child was hers, possibly under a mental impairment?

Good, quick work by those who reported it, and great work by LE.

Whoa - looks like she might have plead guilty - as a sentencing hearing is next. And as usual am coming up with ZIP on a search to see what happened at her hearing. Only articles from February, 2023.

Well - not coming up any current articles on her sentencing. But they do have a next hearing date in the court site.
If anyone can find what the sentencing was - that would be great!

I am not finding anything on Jones - the court site has no next hearing.

Maybe a local can find something about her sentencing hearing that was supposed to be on 12/16/24 & she had a review hearing just yesterday.
TIA if someone can help! :)
