LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. — An employee at a resort in Loudoun County is facing abduction charges after she took a guest's infant son and refused to give him back, according to a sheriff's office report.
It happened on Saturday, May 7, just before 11 a.m., according to the report. A father and his infant son were in the spa area at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia. Deputies say a woman walked up to the man and grabbed the baby.
The father asked for the woman to return his son, but the woman reportedly refused to give up the infant, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said.
Security for the resort called the sheriff's office, and when deputies arrived, the employee and the father had already been separated.
The child's mother arrived at the spa and the employee eventually handed the child to her unharmed, according to deputies.
Sandra J. Brown, a 38-year-old woman from Ashburn, Virginia was charged with abduction and kidnapping and transported to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center where she is being held without bond, the sheriff's office said.
