A couple allegedly tried to sell their two-month-old baby for a six pack of beer in Arkansas, USA. Darien Urban, 21, and Shalene Ehlers, 20, of Rogers, have been reportedly charged with one count each of endangering the welfare of a minor and attempting to accept consideration for relinquishment of a minor.
