An elderly man was arrested on Thursday after allegedly offering $100,000 to buy an 8-year-old girl from her mother at a Winn-Dixie store in Port Orange, Florida, last week, according to police.
The Port Orange Police Department said that 85-year-old Helmuth Kolb told the child's mother how pretty her daughter was and then yelled at the mother in the parking lot that he would buy her for $100,000, local news station WESH reported.
The mother told police that Kolb also asked about her child's age and described the conversation as "harmless," but still "creepy," according to the arrest affidavit, Click Orlando reported.
