The woman accused of kidnapping a Conway infant boy Tuesday told a judge she didn't like the way the child's mother was raising him, so she took him.

Conway police charged Annette Rich, a 30-year-old mother of three, with kidnapping a two-week-old boy from his Duckett Street home as he slept.

At a bond hearing Wednesday a judge set bail at $75,000.

Police said Rich abducted Sharawn Jarod Chestnut Jr. between 11:00 p.m. Monday and midnight Tuesday.

Chestnut's mother, Criche Nelson, told NewsChannel 15 she has known Rich for about two years and that the two were friends.

"I never thought she would have did something like this," Nelson said Wednesday. "That's the last person that I would've thought would've done something like that."

Nelson said she knows Rich feels stupid for what she did and hopes she's sentenced to plenty of time in prison.

"I'm just thinking of all the possibilities that could have happened if she wasn't caught, like her getting away with my child or any harm that could have been caused to him," Nelson said.

Conway police said a 911 caller tipped off police to Rich's whereabouts around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday. Within minutes, police stopped a pickup truck on Mill Pond Road near U.S. Highway 501, and inside they found Rich in the passenger's seat and Sharawn in a canvas grocery bag under a seat. The driver was questioned by police but later released.

Police said Rich admitted to taking the child and said she was taking it behind the old Coca-Cola plant in Conway. Whether she planned on getting rid of the child or taking it to raise as her own, police did not know.

Rich's next court appearance is January 8, 2010.
