Report: Man arrested for trying to sell brains on eBay

Talk about skulduggery.

An Indiana man has been arrested for attempting to sell the brains of dead mental patients on eBay.

David Charles, 21, has been accused of peddling some 60 brains that he reportedly stole from a warehouse at the Indiana Medical History Museum in Indianapolis, according to news reports.

Police say Charles allegedly broke into the museum and stole jars of brains from autopsies performed on patients in the 1890s through the 1940s, according to the Indystar.com. The alleged scheme to sell the brains was thwarted when a museum official received a call from a man in California, who likes to purchase oddities, who said he had bought "six jars of brain matter" for $600 on eBay, according to CNN.com.

Police were notified and arrested Charles on Dec. 16 after setting up a sting at a local Dairy Queen.
