Louisiana police have accused a couple of escaping from a hospital with their critically ill newborn baby and driving 400 miles to Alabama where they were taken into custody.

Police spent hours Saturday looking for Shaun Levy, 39, and Brittany Parrie, 28, before arresting them in Monroeville, Ala., according to reports.

At the same time, “Baby Levy” was taken to a hospital in Monroe County, Ala., where she was listed in stable condition, Louisiana State Police said.
