The Sheriff’s Office has about $300,000 that officers found, if you’re missing such. But be advised you will have to provide information regarding your entitlement.

About a month ago deputies stopped an out-of-state driver on I49 north-bound for allegedly following too close.

Finding narcotics, the drug enforcement team was alerted and found $282,345 cached away in the vehicle.

The accused driver bonded out the next day and went on his way, less the cash alleged to be proceeds of drugs transactions.

Now officials propose to keep the money. Anyone wishing to contest the forfeiture should contact RPSO or the DA’s Office by July 21.

In doing so you’ll have to attest to the circumstances of your acquisition of any ownership of the money. Just saying.
