(KTRK) — A grandmother is accused of a disturbing crime. Prosecutors say she tried to give away her own grandchild. Now she’s behind bars, and the child has been taken away from her.
Vernice Ruenell Zagerman is in county jail on $15,000 bond, accused of endangering a child. But this is not Zagerman’s first brush with the law.
Zagerman, 52, is accused of trying to give her young granddaughter away to strangers. Prosecutors say on Monday, Zagerman was intoxicated and asking people at a gas station if they wanted the little girl.
