Miriam Ramos now faces a charge of felony child abuse or neglect in local criminal court, KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, reported. She is currently held without bail, KSNV<\/em>, another local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

Police located Ramos in California<\/a> last month. She was arrested by the US Marshalls Service on Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

Ramos Scheduled in Court<\/h2>\n

Ramos was extradited to Nevada on March 8, KLAS<\/em> adds. She was booked into Clark County Detention Center on Monday. She appeared in local court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

A judge appointed a public defender to represent her on the charge.\u00a0Ramos is scheduled to return to court on March 15. Eventually, Ramos will likely enter a plea in the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If convicted, Ramos could face imprisonment. The charge has widely different penalties, depending on the facts of the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time of the Dec. 29 incident, police said the girl was Ramos\u2019 daughter. It was not immediately known why the girl was abandoned.<\/p>\n

Ramos and the toddler were in the Wynn restroom for about 15 minutes before Ramos walked out of the casino, KLAS<\/em> reported. She was videotaped by casino surveillance cameras leaving the hotel.<\/p>\n

Toddler Found in Bathroom<\/h2>\n

Later on Dec. 29, the toddler was found in the restroom by casino security officers. She was placed into the custody of Child Protective Services. She was in good health.<\/p>\n

Last month, the mother was identified as Mariam Olayinka Ramos. This week, she was identified by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department under the name of Miriam Ramos.<\/p>\n

\n

Ramos was last seen walking on Las Vegas Boulevard after leaving the Wynn. At the time, she was wearing a blonde wig tied up in a ponytail. She had been in a taxi with a child earlier on Dec. 29, police said. During the ride in the cab, the woman had asked the taxi driver about emergency shelters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After speaking with Ramos, the taxi driver gave Ramos $10, KLAS<\/em> said. He did not collect a fare.<\/p>\n

The pair had been at the Fashion Show Mall before heading to the Wynn.<\/p>\n

Ramos was known to frequent gaming properties on the Las Vegas Strip and in downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Originally, Ramos lived in Nigeria. Then, she moved to Washington, DC, KLAS<\/em> reported, based on statements she made to the taxi driver.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, several Metro officers visited the three-year-old girl after she was placed with Child Protective Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
