LUBBOCK, Texas — A newborn kidnapped from a Lubbock hospital by a woman wearing hospital scrubs was found safe yesterday about 100 miles away in New Mexico, and police had a suspect under arrest. Four-day-old Mychael Darthard-Dawodu was found in a home in Clovis, N.M., by police following up on tips, a day after she was taken from Covenant Lakeside Hospital. She was later reunited with her parents.

“It’s a joyous time,” Gwen Stafford, senior vice president of Covenant Health System, said at a news conference yesterday.
