Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer


GREENFIELD, Calif. - Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

Wow, and I thought the geniuses who called the police because their drug dealer stiffed them were a special kind of stupid.

Moral: Don't stiff anyone on the beer!

When trafficking in children, demand payment in full before delivery of the merchandise.

You mean I can exchange my kids for beer? And they won't give them back?

That was a good price. The roadies for Stillwater traded Penny Lane for a case of Heineken in Almost Famous.

I was there! I was there!
