Man Accused Of Trying To Trade Baby For 40 Ounce Beers
CHICOPEE, Mass. – Authorities say a Massachusetts man offered to give his 3-month-old daughter to a maintenance man outside a gas station convenience store in exchange for a pair of 40-ounce beers.
Chicopee police say 24-year-old Matthew Brace of Northampton made the offer on Monday. The maintenance man called police, who found Brace hiding with the girl behind a trash container.
State child welfare officials took the baby into custody.

The child’s mother was in the store at the time buying cigarettes. She has not been charged.
