Iowa City man appeals ruling over $70,900 found money
Richard Eldridge of Cedar Rapids, owner of a local antique store and Iowa City resident, appeals a Johnson County District Court decision that awarded $70,900 to Ron Herman. Herman found the cash in a basement of a Johnson County apartment building and turned it over to police. The case centers on a one year period for claiming unclaimed funds and Eldridge admits securing the money by illegal means. The apartment is described as tied to a suspected drug distribution center. The lower court awarded the money to Herman on December 13 last year. Eldridge filed his appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court just before the deadline.
