A NICU nurse in Virginia was arrested and booked into Henrico County Jail on Friday on charges of child abuse and malicious wounding to babies.

The accused, 26-year-old Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, is the prime suspect in injuries including fractured bones, on newborn babies.

The initial findings were perplexing to staff, so as a precaution, the Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in Richmond decided to stop taking new patients to the NICU by late December.
