SALINAS, Calif. — A man convicted of trying to sell his baby outside a California Walmart store is heading to prison for six years.

Patrick Fousek and Samantha Tomasini were arrested in June 2010 after witnesses told Salinas police that they were offering their 8-month-old daughter for $25.

Prosecutors said the couple were methamphetamine users and appeared high when they were arrested.

Fousek’s lawyer argued that the incident was a misunderstanding and his client was never serious about selling the baby.

The Monterey County man was convicted in October of child endangerment and possessing drug paraphernalia. A judge Wednesday gave him the maximum sentence of six years.

$25? That's a steal. I bet you could turn around and double your money pretty quick.

Seriously tho, I bet even a hardcore tweaker would know that in the right market they could make enough money to keep them awake for the rest of their lives. I have a hard time believing they were serious, but the law has spoken.
 
Can you imagine the daughter's reaction, 15 years from now, when she googles her parents' names and reads this ?!
