DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A stranger who walked into a Des Moines hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit and bottle fed a baby has been found guilty of misdemeanor trespassing and ordered to pay more than $700. Television station KCCI reports that 36-year-old Adam Wedig was found guilty Thursday by a magistrate judge and incurred $736 in fines, charges and court costs. Police say Wedig entered the NICU at MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center and fed and changed the baby in December, but had no relationship to the baby or his parents. The child was not injured. The child’s parents are suing the hospital, accusing MercyOne of not having adequate security for the unit. The hospital has declined to comment on the lawsuit.
