Benton County Sheriff's Office An Arkansas couple who pleaded guilty to attempting to sell their baby for $1,000 plus a six-pack of beer has been sentenced. As a result of their separate plea deals, Darien Urben, 22, was sentenced to three years in prison for one count of attempted accepting compensation for adoption, while Shalene Ehlers, 21, was placed on state-supervised probation for six years for attempting to accept compensation and endangering the welfare of a minor. The couple was arrested in September 2024 after authorities were tipped off that they had signed a letter granting custody of their two-month-old son to a man they met at the Beaver Lake Hide-A-Way Campground in Rogers, Arkansas. The letter stated, “I, Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers, are signing our rights over to [Cody Martin] of our baby for $1,000 on 9/21/24.” The letter also included a disclaimer which read, “After signing this there will be no changing y’all two’s minds to never contact again.” A witness used the phone in the campground manager’s office to alert authorities. As part of the plea deal, the parents have been barred from having any contact with the child, who is reportedly living in a stable, adoptive home. Read it at KOMO News Read more at The Daily Beast.
