A couple was arrested Wednesday for trying to sell their 6-month-old baby in a Walmart parking lot in Salinas, California. They approached two women, who of course thought they were joking, but as the man persisted, the women became alarmed and called the police. The couple, Samantha Tomasini and Patrick Fousek, was arrested in their (messy) house, and police noted that they seemed high on methamphetamine. Tomasini, 20, told Child Protective Services when they took the baby from her that she’d breastfed while on drugs. They were arrested for being under the influence of narcotics, and in addition Fousek, 38, was charged with violating probation.
