An Akron woman’s roommate was arrested Sunday and charged with kidnapping the woman’s infant grandson.
Bureda Wells, 39, is accused of leaving the 4-day-old baby at a church in the 2300 block of 24th Street SW. The baby’s grandmother arrived on the scene and asked for the child. Police were called at about 11 a.m.
The baby did not appear to be harmed but was taken to Akron Children’s Hospital for a follow-up, authorities said.
Wells was booked into the Summit County Jail.
