Nation IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Father Jailed in Bar Sale of Baby for $10
A cocaine addict allegedly sold his infant daughter in a bar for $10. Authorities said Shane Jennings, 20, was in jail after being charged with selling 4-month-old Samantha Jennings at the bar in Trilcoochee, Fla. Jennings was accused of selling the baby for $10 and seeking $40 for a television set.
