Strange story out of Clarion PA
Odd story out of my hometown: A man from Natchez, Mississippi, with a criminal record, who was an employee of a local gas station, and living in a hotel near the gas station, took a change purse accidentally left behind by a customer. He wouldn't give his true name to police, so they asked his employer for the information, which they gave. Now he is a resident of the Clarion County jail.
I guess he was desperate for money, and thought he found something that could help him survive, but he had to know he would be found out, right? Everything is on video.
The other strange thing is that a local business is hiring a drifter from Mississippi, when unemployment is a concern in the area. I guess it is because "no one wants to work"?

I'm guessing maybe the employee who got arrested is black? Since the change purse was left behind (not taken directly from the customer) the employee could have said he intended to return it to the customer. But the police would never believe that if a black man said it. This is only about a couple of dollars, am I right? Most change purses can only hold a few dollars worth of quarters and dimes.
