West Virginia Couple Accused Of Trying To Sell Baby
LAYLAND , W. Va. (KDKA) -- Two people are behind bars in West Virginia, accused of trying to sell a three-month-old baby.
According to the Register-Herald, 25-year-old Ashley Nichole Harmon and 20-year-old Lucas Flint are charged with attempting to sell a child and gross neglect creating a risk of bodily injury or death to a child.
About a week ago, someone reportedly called 911 about a sick infant at a home in Layland.
When crews arrived, they discovered that the baby was brought to the home by Harmon, the child's mother, and Flint. They allegedly tried to sell the baby to people in the home for $1,000, then $500, but no one would pay for the infant.
