A Connecticut man who found a bag containing nearly $5,000 in cash outside a bank and claimed “finders-keepers” had a criminal charge against him dropped Wednesday after he gave the money back.
Withington found the bank bag containing $4,761 on May 30 outside a bank in his hometown of Trumbull, near Bridgeport.
A police officer had escorted the town employee to the bank, but neither one noticed the bag being dropped, police said.
I just found a money bag.
It was very upsetting.”When asked why he did not bring the money bag to the bank, Withington said the thought never entered his mind.
