YELM BOY ACKNOWLEDGED FOR HONESTY IN OREGON

“A pair of 13-year-old boys turned in cash they found in a parking lot, and six months later they are receiving an unexpected award: the money.

Longtime buddies Joseph Johnson of Yelm, Wash., and Michael Howell of Milwaukie, Ore., were bicycling around Milwaukie in July, debating how best to spend a summer’s afternoon. As they pedaled through a parking lot, the boys and Howell’s mom saw what looked like green trash in front of a Rite Aid pharmacy…

The boys did the right thing, surprising the Milwaukie police with $442.

Ulli Neitch, public information officer for the Milwaukie Police Department, told AOL News that items, including money, get turned in on a regular basis, but the boys’ find was larger than average…

Two local business owners rewarded the boys with money for video games.,” quoting AOL News.
