According to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, deputies were notified by the hospital staff of an individual impersonating a nurse around 10:30 am on Thursday, July 14, Fox 11 reported. Deputies later learned that Miron entered the hospital disguised as a newly-hired nurse and gained access to the medical ward for newborn infants and new mothers. She allegedly entered a hospital room and introduced herself as a nurse.
She attempted to take a newborn infant while inside the patient's room. Miron was confronted by hospital personnel, who alerted security. She fled the hospital before police arrived, but deputies quickly identified Miron as the suspect and served a search warrant at the 11000 block of Weber Street in Moreno Valley, where Miron was found and arrested.
Miron admitted to impersonating a nurse and saying that kidnapping a baby would be "easy," according to court documents obtained by FOX 11. According to the same documents, officers discovered evidence that she had ultrasounds from two other hospitals. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities try to determine how the young woman managed to get inside the ward without setting off any alarm bells.
