Loyola hospital officials said Ms. Jones has been suspended pending an investigation, the Daily Herald reports.
Ms. Jones is being held in DuPage County jail on $250,000 bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for May 15. If convicted, she faces a minimum 20-year prison sentence, according to the report. She is also prohibited from contacting the victim or the victim’s husband.
