Man returns $125,000 that fell from armored truck FRESNO, Calif. (AP) _ A Salvation Army worker in California is being rewarded for his decision to return a bag containing $125,000 that fell from an armored truck. Joe Cornell tells The Fresno Bee (bit.ly/1oSfYIr ) that he found the cash Tuesday after a Brinks truck pulled away from a red light in Fresno and left the sack behind. I started crying and shaking, Cornell said. Everything was going through my mind _ the good devil/bad devil thing. What to do? Thoughts of the imminent arrival of his fourth grandchild soon helped him decide. I thought,What would I want her to think of me? That made up my mind right there, he said. I got on my radio and called my boss.Hey, I found a bag of money. Cornell, 52, is in a Salvation Army substance-abuse rehabilitation program. His duties for the organization include working on donated trailers. I went down there carrying the bag like I was Santa Claus, Cornell said. Brinks spokesman Ed Cunningham said he isnt sure how the truck lost the money, and he called the incident a security issue. The company will give Cornell a $5,000 reward and make a separate $5,000 donation to the Salvation Army. ___ Information from: The Fresno Bee, fresnobee AP-WF-05-30-14 2315GMT
