KINGMAN – The Arizona Department of Child Safety has taken custody of an infant whose mother who admitted writing in the name of a friend on her daughter’s birth certificate. Deputy Kingman Police chief Rusty Cooper said investigators believe that Jackie Dougherty did so because there was a warrant for her arrest, and she feared possible health complications for her newborn daughter due to her drug use during pregnancy.
Cooper said Dougherty was already in jail on a probation violation when she was charged with forging the certificate on August 29.
