DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Police say they don’t know why a 36-year-old man walked into a neonatal intensive care unit at a Des Moines hospital and fed a baby that wasn’t his before leaving. Adam Wedig was charged on Monday with two counts of criminal trespass. Police say Wedig got into the NICU unit at MercyOne on Dec. 28 and bottle fed a baby. KCCI-TV reports Wedig had no connection to the child and police say he did not intend to harm the baby. Police Sgt. Paul Parizek says Wedig did not offer police any possible motive for his actions.
