POLICE: KENTUCKY MAN TRIES TO SELL 4-YEAR-OLD FOR $2,500 AT GAS STATION

Kentucky State Police have charged a 29-year-old man with promoting child trafficking, accusing him of trying to sell a 4-year-old boy for $2,500 at a gas station.

Harry Day was arrested after police responded to reports of a man trying to sell a child at a Speedy Mart in Corbin, Kentucky.

A 911 caller described Day’s car and license plate, and police found the white Nissan parked along Spider Creek Road.

State troopers found the boy at his mother’s house along with methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. She was identified as 26-year-old Gertrude Henson.

Police said both Day and Henson told officers they’d been using meth.

Day was charged with promoting human trafficking and driving under the influence.

Police arrested Henson on drug charges and two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.
