Police in the United States stopped a man after he was found to have tossed hundred-dollar bills out of his car window along a busy highway earlier this week, an act that he said was to “bless others”.
However, Mr Colin Davis McCarthy’s act of generosity has upset his family, who said his actions have left them penniless. Mr McCarthy, 38, threw about US$200,000 along the Interstate 5 in Eugene, Oregon on Tuesday evening, according to state police, who received numerous reports of the incident. This caused vehicles along the road to stop as people left their cars to pick up the unexpected windfall.He was told him to stop doing so as it was causing “a significant traffic hazard”. Mr McCarthy was “cooperative” and agreed to stop, the police said.However, his family were upset when they heard about the incident, claiming that he had emptied their joint bank account and left them poor.
“Motorists did a thorough job of gathering the loose money as troopers were unable to locate any further currency after the incident,” police said.
