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 Dayโ€™s car and license plate, and police found the white Nissan parked along Spider Creek Road.

State troopers found the boy at his motherโ€™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 theyโ€™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.
