Houston panhandler found with $3,426.78
..."He asked the lady for money and she refused,” said METRO Police Capt. Mike Raney. “He continued the request for more money. The officer was standing just a few feet from the panhandler at the time."
Police stepped in and questioned 42-year-old James Dillon but were not expecting what they were about to find on him.
When Dillon did not have any ID, plain clothes police officers searched him. Looking down in one pocket they found a wad of $1,700 in cash. Looking in the other pocket they found even more money and another citation for panhandling issued last month.
The homeless man’s cash added up to $3,426.78.
And he was caught asking for another quarter.
