Woman charged with trying to kill baby in McDonald’s toilet

A California woman is charged with trying to kill a baby in a McDonald’s toilet.

Cashier Sarah Lockner, 25, went to work Sept. 4 at a Redwood City McDonald’s complaining of stomach pains.

Lockner told investigators that she didn’t know she was pregnant.

Prosecutors say she tried to kill her baby by flushing her down a toilet.

The newborn wasn’t breathing when paramedics arrived.

Pramedics revived the baby. It is in stable condition, but it’s unknown whether the baby suffered brain damage.

Lockner is charged with attempted murder and remains in jail on $11 million bail.
