ROGGEN, Colo.—What state transportation workers found along an interstate in northeast Colorado wasn’t your ordinary bag of trash.
The Denver Post reports that Colorado Department of Transportation employees Jim Rider and Kirby Harris found a duffle bag with $10,000 inside while cleaning up along Interstate 76 Thursday. They were cleaning debris stirred up by snowplows near Roggen when they saw drug paraphernalia and personal papers scattered along the eastbound lane of I-76.
Rider and Harris found the bag at the end of the debris trail. Rider says the cash, mostly $100s and $50s, was in a plastic bag. They say there was never a question about handing the money to authorities.
Transportation Department spokeswoman Stacey Stegman says employees find all kinds of things, including wallets.
