A judge has set bail at $50,000 for a 36-year-old woman accused of trying to sell her 3-day-old baby at a Taco Bell restaurant in southwest Washington.
Court papers say Heidi L. Knowles was arrested July 14 after a woman at the restaurant called police, saying she'd been offered the baby boy for a price between $500 and $5,000.
Knowles was arrested for investigation of attempted child selling and on several outstanding warrants. Superior Court Judge Robert Lewis set bail Monday and appointed defense lawyer Gerry Wear to represent her.
According to court documents the woman is unemployed, on welfare and food stamps and told investigators she was living at a motel until she could find a shelter. The Columbian says Child Protective Services took custody of the baby, born July 11.
Arraignment was set for July 29.
