Wow.....Are some of you THAT naïve. This was a dope dealer. They stopped him, but didn't find dope. This doesn't just happen to Joe citizen driving down the road. How many of you drive around with $167K stashed in your vehicle. Suddenly, many of you have made him out as a full timer enjoying his retirement when he gets caught up with the police for no reason.....really!!!
I guarantee that if you could see the driver's record, he has a long list of dope convictions. This article is printed from the side of the driver, where law enforcement is never asked or is not willing to discuss the case, but the media likes to print what looks like an outrageous story.
This is a defense version of the story and is no different than what you hear from a mass murderer's defense attorney. Telling you he was a choir boy and model citizen.
Yup. The article says the first officer suspected there was cash stashed and there was. There was some evidence to make him think that. Like maybe the guys rap sheet along with statements he may have made and who knows what else. The money was not ordered returned to him because he proved it was legal money. It was returned because the judge didn't like how law enforcement worked together to find the money.
