Did An Arkansas Couple Try To Sell Their Baby For Beer?

Did an Arkansas couple try to sell their baby for beer? That's what's being alleged and now they're both facing several felony charges.

This is one of those stories that just make you feel sick to your stomach. It's hard to believe that there are people like this out there, but there are many more than we'd like to believe. This happened in Benton County, Arkansas.

These 2 could be some of the worst parents out there. It sounds like something you'd see on TV or in a movie from some degenerate parents, but sadly this is all too real it sounds like. I just can't wrap my head around what would make you want to do this and how you'd think it's okay and not a major problem.

According to WREG, 21-year-old Darien Urban and 20-year-old Shalene Ehlers were arrested for trying to sell their 2-month-old baby for a 6-pack of beer and a $1,000 cashier's check. Now, they're both facing felony charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and attempting to negotiate the relinquishment of a minor for adoption. Law enforcement was reportedly alerted to what was happening by the manager of the Hide Away Campground. Witnesses say the two, who are engaged, wrote a letter granting custody of their baby to Cody Martin in exchange for money. According to WREG, the letter they both signed included a disclaimer saying, "there will be no changing y'all two's minds and to never contact again." Not the typical wording you'd expect to see in a legal document.

When police arrived, they realized the baby needed medical attention and was taken to the Children's Hospital for an evaluation. According to WREG, witnesses say Ricky Crawford who's a resident at the campground had visited the couple earlier and offered to take the baby for the night in exchange for several cans of beer. Crawford was later interviewed by police and appeared to be heavily intoxicated, per WREG. It's reported he had slurred speech and trouble with his balance. He confirmed to police that he had taken the baby from Urban and Ehlers and brought the child to Martin.

The couple reportedly never received their payments. Urban was released on bond and Ehlers remains in custody at the Benton County Jail. You can see both of their mugshots provided by the Benton County Sheriff's Office below.

Mugshots can be entertaining for a number of reasons. It could be the story behind the arrest. Or, more likely, it could be how the person looks in the photo. Here are Dave & Chuck The Freak's Top 5 Mugshots Of The Day for 2023!

That's right! We crunched the numbers and got hard data. Once said data was crunched and examined we were left with Dave & Chuck The Freak's 5 most popular Mugshots Of The Day from the past year!

As usual, doing a list of the 5 best is very difficult. I mean, Dave & Chuck The Freak talk about hilarious mugshots almost every other day on the show. That's a lot of criminals and a lot of mugshots!

However, some mugshots are simply better than others. Some of these mugshots require a bit of context, others don't need any context at all in order to be deemed entertaining. You'll find examples of both below.

As we said, putting a list together like this is tough. So many great mugshots end up on the cutting room floor. Picking the top 5 is certainly no easy feat when there are so many good ones to choose from. Instead of going around the room and picking our favorites or asking you on Facebook which ones you liked the most in 2023, we made everything much easier. We'll simply look at the numbers.

That means the results are all from hard data. There are no opinions here. These are the 5 most popular mugshots of the day from Dave & Chuck The Freak in 2023 by the numbers. Thus, in a way, you created this list. If you have a problem with the results, you have only yourself to blame!
