Friday the Walton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Interdiction Unit stopped a vehicle on I-10 at the 83 mile marker for a traffic violation for following to close to another vehicle. Upon contact, a K9 alerted on the vehicle and deputies conducted a search and found $103,820 US dollars inside the vehicle. The money was seized and placed in evidence. The driver was issued a written warning for the traffic violation and was released from the scene.
Ok I guess there's more to the story. But what gives the right to take cash if all the person was guilty of was a traffic violation? And all he got was a warning that cost a hundred grand?
