ROTHSCHILD, Wis. (AP) — Police and city officials say thanks is not enough for Jon Jazdzewski.
Jazdzewski, 52, an employee of Wausau Supply, was driving out of town for business around 4 a.m. Jan. 28 when he spotted something on the road near the Rothschild Village Hall.
“I knew it was a money bag, and I picked it up. But there was no doubt in my mind that this thing was going back to (the village),” said Jazdzewski, of Kronenwetter.
What was inside the locked bag was more than $850,000 in cash and checks, according to city officials.
