Jerry Johnson was on his way to buy a truck in Phoenix, Arizona, when authorities apprehended him at Phoenix airport and seized the almost $40,000 cash he was carrying.
The Drug Enforcement Bureau of the Phoenix Police Department received a tip about Johnson's trip in August 2020 and after conducting a background check, found several drug-related arrests, according toThree detectives waited for Johnson at the airport's baggage claim. They found the cash in both Johnson's carry-on and checked bag, but refused to believe his reasons for carrying the funds and said they would arrest him if he did not sign away the money on the spot.
The court ordered Johnson's money to be returned with interest, as well as compensation for legal costs. :"I'm so happy to finally have this case dismissed, to get my money back, and to receive interest for the years that the government refused to return my money without proving I did anything wrong. And I am also eager to get back the money I paid out of pocket for my first attorney.
