2 West Virginia residents charged with trying to sell baby
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities in West Virginia say a man and woman have been arrested on charges that they tried to sell the woman's baby.
Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler says in a news release that 25-year-old Ashley N. Harmon and 20-year-old Jonathan Isaac Lucas Flint were arrested at a home in Layland last week. They face felony charges of selling or attempting to sell a child and gross child neglect.
According to the news release, witnesses told authorities that the pair allegedly offered to sell the 3-month-old for up to $1,000. But when no one agreed, the suspects fled and left the baby behind.
