Man charged with trying to sell 200-year-old skull
A California man was charged Wednesday with breaking a federal law that protects archaeological finds by trying to sell the skull of a Hawaiian native born 200 years ago, authorities said.
Jerry David Hasson, 55, of Huntington Beach is accused of violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, according to the criminal complaint.
Authorities contend he put the skeletal remains on sale on eBay in February, claiming the warrior died on Maui in the 1790s.
