Updated at 7:09 p.m. ET: LOS ANGELES -- Three men and two women were in custody Monday in connection with a hostage takeover at Nordstrom Rack in the Westchester area of the Southern California city last week, police said.

Troy Marsay Hammock, 29; Everett Oneal Allen, 24; and Raymond Sherman, Jr., 34, were arrested on suspicion of robbery. Rochelle Monique Sherman, 33, and Paula Roneshia Bradley, 29, were arrested on suspicion of accessory after the fact.

"There is some criminality as far as these individuals are concerned. They have records," Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck said.

Four of the suspects are currently in custody in LA. Sherman is being held in Phoenix without bail. All five suspects are residents of Los Angeles, according to police.

On Jan. 10 at about 11 p.m. local time, the three male suspects allegedly barged into the clothing store at the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center and took 13 women and one man hostage. At least one person was stabbed in the neck and another was sexually assaulted, according to police.

None of the men have been connected to the sexual assault, Beck said.

"We can't classify them in that category yet ," Beck said.

A hostage was able to call a relative, who then alerted police. A four-hour police standoff ensued.

When officers finally took the store, the suspects were gone.

"It was later learned that they left the location in a white sport utility vehicle as patrol units were arriving," police wrote in a statement.

By Saturday night, detectives had arrested the alleged robbers, and "two additional persons were arrested for their actions after the robbery," according to police.

The Nordstrom Rack reopened at 10 a.m. local time Monday.

"We're offering counselors on site today at the store and they will remain available as long as our employees need them," said Tara Darrow, Nordstrom's director of public relations.

Police have charged a 46-year-old Westchester, N.Y., woman with murder after they found her 4-year-old son dead in the bedroom Monday.

Manuela Maria Morgado was arraigned in Village of Mamaroneck Court and was remanded to Westchester County without bail.

She is due back in court on Oct. 4. It was not immediately clear whether she has an attorney.

Officers were called to 1035 East Boston Post Rd. in the village of Mamaroneck at about 10:20 a.m. Monday, when a concerned family member asked them to check on the well-being of Morgado. 

When police entered the bedroom there, they found the boy, Jason Reish, dead, and his mother groggy and semi-conscious. 

Morgado was transported to the hospital for evaluation. Authorities were looking into whether she may have killed her son, then tried to kill herself. 

"He was a great kid," said Reish's pre-school teacher, who did not want to be identified. "That's all I can say." 

The tragedy startled neighbors at the suburban apartment complex in Mamaroneck. Those who knew the Reish family said there was no hint of any trouble in the home. 

"She's just a sweet person," neighbor Andrew Landau said of the boy's mother. "Nothing bad I could say about her. Nothing that would say I saw them fighting or whatever. Nothing at all."

The son of Robert F. Kennedy has been charged with harassment and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly clashing with two nurses who tried to stop him from taking his 2-day-old baby boy from a Westchester maternity unit, NBC New York has learned.

According to a Mount Kisco, N.Y. police report obtained by NBC New York, Douglas Kennedy, 44, took his baby from the newborn unit of Northern Westchester Hospital on Jan. 7, against the instructions of hospital staff who told him the infant needed to stay there. He faces misdemeanor charges.

Kennedy and his wife, Molly, who was in the hospital to recover from a cesarean section, disputed the accusations in a statement to NBC New York, saying "these allegations are absurd."

The nurse in charge of the unit, Anna Margaret Lane, said in a deposition that Kennedy wanted to take the child "to get fresh air" that evening. As he tried to leave, he was accompanied by a doctor from the hospital's emergency room, identified in court papers as "Dr. Haydock," later determined to be Dr. Timothy Haydock, a longtime family friend.

While the nursing staff sought to get Kennedy to return the baby to his bassinet, Haydock reportedly encouraged Kennedy to walk with the baby by telling nurses that he was with him, according to Lane's deposition.

Kennedy ignored the pleas of the nursing staff and carried the newborn -- identified in court papers as "B.K." -- to the elevator, police said.  As the nursing staff tried to calm him and dissuade him from leaving the hospital, Kennedy turned and walked toward a stairwell leading to the outside of the hospital. 

Lane blocked the doorway, "placing both hands on the doorknob" to prevent Kennedy from leaving, police said. Kennedy grabbed the nurse by her left wrist and twisted it to that he could pass into the stairwell, police said.

The baby's head "began to move from side to side, and in an attempt to stabilize the baby's head, nurse Cari Maleman Luciano reached toward the infant's head," police said. 

"Instinctively as a nurse, I raised both my arms toward the neck of the baby to steady the violent shaking of the baby's head and neck," Luciano told investigators in a deposition.

While holding the child in his right arm, Kennedy kicked Luciano in the pelvis with his right foot, knocking her backward onto the floor, police said.

As he did this, Kennedy fell onto the floor with the baby in his arms. Kennedy then got up and ran "down the stairs with the infant until he was stopped by security and escorted back to the infant's room," the police report said.

The police report did not say whether the infant was harmed but Kennedy's lawyer told NBC New York the baby was not injured and slept during the altercation.

The statement to NBC New York from Kennedy and his wife said there was no crime committed.

"The nurse had no right to attempt to grab our child out of his father's arms and I, Douglas, was shocked and appalled when she did so," the statement said.

Haydock said in a statement to NBC New York that Kennedy, whom he has known for more than 40 years, was not putting his healthy baby at risk by seeking to take him for a walk outside.

"I witnessed the incident and I can state unequivocally that the nurses were the only aggressors," he said. "To charge Mr. Kennedy with a crime is simply incomprehensible to me."

Kennedy attorney Robert Gottlieb criticized the nurses' handling of the case.

"What happened to that baby and any danger to that baby was the fault not of Douglas Kennedy but the nurses involved in this case," Gottlieb said. "There is no question about it during the entire incident, Mr. Kennedy was acting very politely, calmly, politely."

Elliot Taub, the two nurses' attorney, said Lane and Luciano "called a ‘code pink,’ that is, it looks like its someone trying to abscond from the hospital with a newborn. That alerts the security staff and when it escalated, they hit what's called a 'code purple,' which means there is someone who is acting inappropriately, highly offensive, is a danger in the hospital."

Kennedy is the 10th child of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy. He and Molly have four children.

A Brown University graduate, Kennedy started his journalism career with The New York Post and most recently worked as a general assignment reporter and bi-monthly news program host for Fox News.
