In 1996 police arrested a 26-year-old woman on charges she tried to sell her 5-year-old niece for $24 to pay for drinks and a ride home, police said Monday. The aunt, Jennifer Burroughs, was charged with the unlawful sale of a child, a felony. The child, Nicole Mezyk, was discovered sitting outside a bar around midnight Friday, police said. Authorities said the child's mother, Rhonda Mezyk, had left her daughter with Burroughs for the weekend.
