SALINAS, Calif. -- Two Salinas parents face felony child endangerment charges after police said they tried to sell their 6-month-old daughter outside a Walmart store for $25, Salinas TV station KSBW reported. Patrick Fousek, 28, and Samantha Momasini, 20, were arrested Tuesday after two women reported Fousek approached them about taking his daughter for money, police said. The women, who said they didn't know if Fousek was joking or not, reported the incident to police. Officers then traced Fousek's vehicle to an apartment, where police said they found the baby and her parents, who were high on methamphetamine. The child has been placed in protective custody, while Fousek and Momasini were booked on suspicion of child endangerment, attempting to abandon a child and being intoxicated on methamphetamine.
