From Albany's ABC News 10:

GUILDERLAND, N.Y. (NEWS10) – An Albany woman wanted on multiple warrants was arrested for burglary and endangering the welfare of a child for an incident at Crossgates Mall Friday afternoon.

Guilderland police responded to Crossgates Mall around 2:10 p.m. Friday for a reported fight between a male and female with an infant. Upon investigation, police learned the female, identified as 22-year-old Ajanice Spooner, was in Lord & Taylor stealing property.

Police said Spooner held her 10-month-old son in front of her to prevent Lord & Taylor loss prevention from handcuffing her. She then pushed and punched a loss prevention representative, which caused minor injuries.

 

Spooner walked to Forever 21 where an unidentified group of females started to fight with loss prevention members. Spooner then gave her child to an unknown female and fled the mall before police arrived, police said.

 

Child Protective Services was contacted, and Spooner turned herself in a few hours later. According to Guilderland police, Spooner has been indefinitely banned from Crossgates Mall since 2011.
