CAMP HILL, Pa. (UPI) -- Praise is being heaped on a Pennsylvania
police officer who found $3,100 blowing around a road and tracked down
the rightful owners, officials said.
Artie Mandato, owner of the Main Event entertainment firm in
Manalapan, N.J., said employee Jose Castilao was driving back home
Friday from the West Shore Country Club in Camp Hill, Pa., when he
lost track of the black leather folder containing the $3,100 he had
collected earlier in the evening, the Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot-News
reported Tuesday.
Castilao returned to the club and scoured the parking lot, but could
find no trace of the missing money, Mandato said. He said the employee
eventually began his defeated drive home, but his spirits were lifted
when Mandato called him during the drive to say the money had been
found.
Camp Hill police Officer Lane Prior was getting ready to watch for
speeders early Saturday when he saw the $100 bills and a black leather
folder blowing around the Camp Hill Bypass. He collected the items and
found contact information for Mandato in the folder.
"(Prior) went out of his way to do research and figure out whose it
was," Mandato said. "He even stayed off duty after his shift to meet
Jose when he returned to pick it up."
Camp Hill police Chief Gregory "Jan" Ammons also praised Prior.
"We reunite owners with property all the time, but not like this --
$3,100 of cash money blowing down the roadway," Ammons said. "It
speaks well of the officer. He did a good job."
