“The victim that September day in 2013 wasn’t a bank. It was Tan Nguyen, a California man traveling on Interstate 80 near Winnemucca, about 165 miles northeast of Reno. He was pulled over by a Humboldt County sheriff’s deputy for doing 78 mph in a 75 zone. The deputy thought Mr. Nguyen ‘looked nervous’ and insisted on searching the vehicle, eventually finding a briefcase that contained $50,000 in cash. So he took it. Mr. Nguyen was never charged with any crime. Nothing illegal was found in the vehicle. Mr. Nguyen didn’t even receive a speeding ticket. The following day, the sheriff’s office issued a news release trumpeting the windfall.”
