ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A county garbage operations employee found a plastic bag stuffed with $65,000 on the road Thursday.
It turned out the money had fallen off a Loomis armored car half an hour before Debbie Cole found it near the Pinellas County solid waste operations facility where she works. First she thought it was a turtle in the road.
The 53-year-old Largo woman found the bag just before 7 a.m., full of enough $50 and $100 bills to pay her salary for two years. She immediately contacted a supervisor, who called deputies.
It’s not clear how the bag fell from the truck, said Loomis spokesman Mark Clark.
