Cleveland man returns $640,000 from armored car Saturday February 10 11:14 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com CLEVELAND (Reuters) - A neatly dressed man who scooped up $640,000 in fresh, plastic-wrapped cash that tumbled out of an armored car two days ago nervously returned his haul Friday, the FBI (news - web sites) said. ``He realized that he couldn't spend the money because it was all serialized and recorded,'' said FBI agent Stu Shoaff, who described the man as ``nervous.'' Federal prosecutors decided not to bring charges against the man, who was not identified. The man telephoned the Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Bank in Cleveland Friday to ask how to safely return the money. The three packages, each weighing 42 pounds, with the bills visible, were part of a shipment destined for Akron, Ohio. They fell out of the armored car Wednesday. FBI agents met the man at the bank, reclaimed the money, and released him. A witness's detailed description of the man -- in his 30s and dressed in a suit coat and tie -- had been publicized. ``Due to the fact he waited as long as he did, I don't know if he'll get anything'' as far as a reward, Shoaff said. The witness could receive some of a $75,000 reward offered by the armored car company.
