A young Henrico County woman will be allowed to recover from years of mental problems at home instead of in prison, a Henrico judge ruled yesterday. Circuit Judge Gary A. Hicks sentenced 19-year-old Ebony Tucker to five years in prison but suspended enough of the sentence so that Tucker, convicted of the attempted abduction of an infant baby last year from a hospital, was able to go free.

A former honors student at Highland Springs High School pleaded guilty yesterday to attempting to steal a baby from a hospital in May.
