A Guyanese who is illegal in the US was found with a huge sum of money when he was arrested and charged after behaving disorderly during a traffic stop in Pennsylvania.
The man who was identified as Ivory Anthony Weaver, 48, in a Centre Times Daily report, was at the time carrying US$351,164 in a cardboard box in luggage. Police in the area said they suspected it to be drug money.
According to the Centre Times Daily, Weaver was uncooperative and unruly when the officer stopped him at the traffic light for speeding on Tuesday which resulted in the police using a taser to subdue him. The police said they found indicators of criminal activity and obtained a search warrant.
They later found the money.
Weaver resisted arrest when the police seized the money.
He was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, false identification to law enforcement, and disorderly conduct.
