A woman from Texas has reportedly been arrested for purchasing a baby from a stranger at Walmart.
The accused has been identified as 49-year-old Rebecca Lanette Taylor who was taken into police custody after the horrifying incident which took place in Crockett, Texas recently.
The woman was present at the self-checkout in Walmart. She was reportedly seen and heard commenting on another woman’s child and how his hair was so blonde and how he had big and beautiful blue eyes. Moreover, she was even caught stating how much he costs too.
At that moment, the woman laughed out loud at her remark but Taylor was very serious when she mentioned it, and then she allegedly replied to the woman how she had nearly $250,000 waiting inside her car for the deal.
Soon, the accused was seen leaving the store and then again waited for the same mother and her son in Walmart’s parking lot.
Taylor wanted to make an offer and could be seen yelling out to the woman that if 250,000 dollars was not enough, she was willing to seal the deal for the child at $500,000.
On that note, the mother with her child was quick to call up the cops and report Taylor who was arrested on the 18 of January. However, other local media outlets have gone on to mention how she was soon released on a bond worth $50,000.
Taylor has been slapped with charges relating to the sale or purchase of a young child, which is deemed to a felony of the third degree in the state of Texas. Moreover, authorities claim that it is such a punishable crime that could see the accused serving up to ten years in jail too.
