A criminal charge has been dropped against a Connecticut man who found a bag containing nearly $5,000 in cash outside a bank and claimed “finders-keepers.” A state prosecutor in Bridgeport decided to drop the felony larceny charge Wednesday after Robert Withington gave the money back.
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 with $4,761 on May 30 outside a bank in his hometown of Trumbull, near Bridgeport. It turned out the money belonged to the Trumbull tax collector’s office, and a town employee had dropped the bag while walking to the bank to deposit the money, police said. Before Wednesday’s court appearance, Withington had given the town attorney a bank-certified check in the amount of the missing money.
“They dropped the money. Someone from the town should be fired for being so irresponsible,” Withington said in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. “But I did nothing wrong. I just found a money bag. It was just a big joke. They wasted my time. They slandered my name. It was very upsetting.”
