It sounds like the premise of a 'gotcha' reality TV show: An envelope packed with thousands of dollars in cash is left laying out in an intersection, waiting for someone to happen upon it while cameras record what they do next.
But it was no setup Feb. 21 when a Palm Coast woman happened upon an envelope stuffed full of money, and decided to turn it over to police.
Julia Dubinskiy, a 44-year-old Palm Coast resident, found the envelope at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Seminole Woods Boulevard at about 11:30 a.m.
Dubinskiy called the Flagler County Sheriff's Office and handed it over to a deputy, who met her on Rymfire Drive.
"(Dubinskiy) advised she had no further information regarding the money, and wished to turn it over to law enforcement," reporting Deputy Jonathan Kuleski wrote in a case report.
There was a total of $2,200 inside.
Deputies weren't able to get a formal sworn statement from Dubinskiy because she speaks and writes Russian only, according to the case report.
The Sheriff's Office turned the money over to the evidence custodian for safekeeping.
