SANFORD, Fla. -- A woman accused of kidnapping a newborn from a Central Florida hospital could be out of jail as soon as Monday after a judge orders her release on Saturday, Local 6 has learned.

Seminole County Judge Ralph Eriksson ordered Jennifer Latham, 39, released from custody, but she has to wear a device on her ankle so authorities can keep track of her movements, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Latham remained in custody Saturday evening awaiting an ankle monitor, a jail clerk said.

The hearing was held at the Seminole County Jail. Latham had her face covered with her long hair during the proceedings and she said she didn't have a lawyer and will get a public defender, the newspaper reported.

She did not have to pay a bond and will be set free under a pre-trial release program, the jail clerk said.

Latham was arrested Friday and charged with kidnapping and attempted kidnapping, the jail clerk said.

Officials at Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford alerted police of the abduction after hospital alarms indicated the child had been removed from the newborn unit, authorities said.

Latham was arrested a short time later after being pulled over by police in nearby Lake Mary, authorities said. The baby boy was in the car and was unharmed.

The next hearing is on April 29.

Latham Apparently Bragged Of Pregnancy

Meanwhile, Latham supposedly told her family nine months ago that she was pregnant, despite having her tubes tied, Local 6 reported Saturday.

Latham's sister Penny Barnard told Local 6's Todd Jurkowski that she was crushed by the bizarre allegations.

"I guess she just lost it because she wasn't pregnant," Barnard said.

Barnard said a car seat videotaped as the child was being taken out of her SUV by police was one of the baby supplies they purchased leading up to last week's bogus due date, Local 6 reported.

"I would have never in a million, million years thought this," Barnard said. "I really don't know what she thought. I see how she was going to come home and say, 'Oh, here's my baby.'"

Police: Abduction Random

Investigators also continued to believe that the abduction was apparently a "rare" random act.

Police said Latham initially tried to take another child in the hospital Friday but was confronted by the child's parents. She then snatched the 1-day-old boy and fled, police said.

"It does appear that it could be a stranger abduction, which is very, very rare," said Darrel Presley, deputy chief of the Sanford Police Department near Orlando.
