Baby safe after taken hostage by grandmother Laurie Morgan in Gwinnett County

A Gwinnett County grandmother was arrested Wednesday moing following a five-hour hostage situation involving her newbo grandson.

According to police, Laurie Morgan, 57, held her 4-week-old grandchild hostage at the Highland Coers apartment complex, which is located on Noble Forest Drive in Peachtree Coers. Police were called to the scene around 3 a.m.

Investigators said some type of domestic fight took place between Morgan, who was possibly intoxicated, and a man, who is likely the baby's father.
