Man Tried to Sell Daughter for Beer, Meat, and Cash

Can you imagine the bargaining?

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.

  1. Genius. That’s like calling the cops to complain that the hooker stole your cocaine.

  2. Once again… why isn’t stoning a legal punishment??

  4. <sarcasm>Where are your senses of multi-culturalism?<sarcasm> Money says this will quietly go away…kind of like all those stories of honor killings a couple years back.

  5. When I saw Greenfield, I was a little concerned it was Wisconsin, not California. 

    Besides, were this to happen in WI, this seemed more like a Sheboygan story to me.

  6. Other reports indicate that the guy is also an illegal alien…

  7. Yet another aspect of culture clash and the non-assimilation of illegal aliens. But, hey, at least someone is picking our carrots, right? That’s what important after all.
