PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say they have arrested a Mesa woman who
allegedly tried to trade her 2-year-old daughter for a gun.

Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies went to the home of 33-year-old
Tanya Nareau on Tuesday after receiving a tip about the swap.

While at Nareau's home, a family friend who had the child confirmed to
deputies that Nareau gave the girl to him for a gun.

Deputies say Nareau felt that the friend would do a better job in
raising the child. They say Nareau also claimed she could not buy a
weapon because she's prohibited to do so by law.

Authorities say Nareau has been booked into county jail. She's charged
with the unlawful sale of a child and solicitation to possess a weapon
by a prohibited person.

It was unclear whether Nareau had a lawyer.

How can you tell the value of the gun from this article? They don't
tell you what kind of gun it was. I have many guns that are worth
much more than any child.
