Dalton Police look for woman who found $100

DALTON, Georgia (WDEF) – Dalton Police have posted surveillance photos of a woman they want to talk with.

They say she picked up $100 at a Walmart Neighborhood Market.

It was left by a woman who asked for cash back at the self checkout register.

The surveillance camera shows two women were in line next.

On of them appears to point out the cash, then picked it up and walked out.

The other woman paid for her groceries, then the woman in the photos returned to pay for hers.

Police say it is possible the woman went out to try to find the owner of the cash, but she didn’t tell anyone at the store about it.

Dalton Police say…

Georgia code 16-8-6 states that it’s unlawful to appropriate lost or mislaid property “without first taking reasonable measures to restore the property to the owner.”

In other words, “finders keepers” is not the law in Georgia.

For now, they just want to talk to her to find out what happened.

They describe her as having “long dark hair and wearing a gray t-shirt and short blue jean shorts with sandals.”

If you recognize her please contact Detective Jacob Burger at 706-278-9085, extension 9325.
