$290,000 Found Hidden in Car Upholstery

December 18, 2015 By Nadeem Muaddi 3 Comments

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Money in Car Seat

I’ve found a lot of weird and gross things in car seats – chewed bubblegum, diapers, a dead mouse, even drugs – but never $290,000. However, that’s exactly what one Texas cop recently found.

Fayette County Police Sgt. Randy Thumann flagged down a Honda Odyssey for a routine traffic stop, reported local KFLY News. Suspecting something was amiss, he asked the driver for permission to search the vehicle. After the driver consented, Thumann called in his K-9 Lobos who took noticeable interest in the van’s seats.

With probable cause, Thumann cut open the seats’ upholstery, where he found more than a quarter million dollars hidden inside.

Of course, possession of a large sum of money isn’t a crime. But after some interrogation, the driver was arrested and charged with money laundering — which is, in fact, illegal.

The criminal now sits in Fayette County Jail, where he awaits trial.

      You’re a good person for that. Not a lot of folks would do the same.
