Woman Puts Baby, Knife, Loaded Shotgun In Stroller

 CBS News Interactive: Crime Beat

UTICA, N.Y. (AP) ― Police say a woman out for a walk with her baby and another child was packing more than diapers in her stroller.

Stephanie Wilson is charged with endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon after pulling a knife and a sawed-off shotgun out of the stroller to threaten another woman. Police say the two had an ongoing argument over money.

Utica Public Safety Commissioner Dan LaBella says he's never seen anything like it in his 20-year law enforcement career.

"It's pretty sad when individuals have to put a child at risk by carrying weapons in a stroller," LaBella said.

The 29-year-old Wilson is being held in jail without bail pending a court appearance. Her baby was turned over to social workers, while the older child was taken by a relative.
