Poor Stacy Knutson of Moorhead had to go through the trouble and expense and filed a lawsuit asking that the Tip/Gift cash be returned to her that she recived on her job.
She said she believes the money was meant as an anonymous gift from someone who knew that she, her husband, and five children were struggling financially.
A Minnesota waitress who says a customer told her to keep a box with $12,000 in it has sued police who later impounded the cash as suspected drug money.
The SP is surprised she was not arrested as a terrorist. But who knows that may now be in the works since she stood up for herself.
“I do know that the person gave me what was in that to-go bag,” Knutson wrote in the lawsuit filed last month. “Thus as I understand it, it is mine.”
1. The lawsuit says Knutson was working at the Fry’n Pan restaurant when a customer left behind a takeout box.
2. When she tried to return the box, the lady said, “No, I am good, you keep it.” When Knutson opened the box, she found three wads of bills wrapped in rubber bands.
3. Although she desperately needed the money, she decided to call police, her attorney said.
4. Officers told her to wait 90 days in case someone claimed the money.
No one did but police still refused to return the cash, saying it was being held in a drug investigation because it smelled of marijuana.
