(06-26) 14:05 PDT Salinas, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities say a father accused of being part of a couple who tried to sell their baby for $25 outside a Walmart is recovering after fellow jail inmates beat him.
Thirty-eight-year-old Patrick Fousek and 20-year-old Samantha Tomasini pleaded not guilty to child endangerment and drug charges Friday.
Fousek appeared in court with a bruised eye and stitches. Sheriff's Cmdr. Mike Richards said the 38-year-old was attacked Thursday by inmates at the Monterey County Jail.
He also suffered two cracked ribs and is now being held away from the general population.
Fousek is accused of approaching two women Wednesday and asking if they'd like to purchase his child.
Salinas police say the women thought he was joking but became suspicious and called police after he persisted.
