Abandoned baby found on porch

A newborn infant was left on the front porch of a home in Garland County on Monday, the Garland County sheriff's office reported.

Deputies responded about 4:20 p.m. to a home on Pine Berry Lane, where a resident found the infant lying on the porch. The infant had been born only hours before, according to a sheriff's office statement.

The baby was transported by helicopter to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs and later taken to Arkansas Children's Hospital. The infant "appeared to be in good health," the statement said.

Anyone with information about the baby is asked to call the sheriff's office at (501) 622-3690 or the anonymous hotline at (501) 622-3674.
