Leone allegedly sealed the bag with the baby inside and sent a photograph to the child's father, Darius Carson.
According to court documents, Carson said Leone wanted to be with him and sent the picture as a scare tactic. Carson then informed his wife, Jeffica Brown, about the incident.
Brown notified the Texas Department of Family Protective Services and police about the incident, providing the picture to authorities.
