One north Georgia man got more than he bargained for when he bought a car from a towing company late last year.
Officials with the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office said Thursday that Tye Kuykendall found $200,000 in counterfeit money inside a hidden compartment behind the back seat of the car. Authorities say Kuykendall had bought the car for $400 after it sat for more than three years in an impound yard after being towed by Fulton County police in 2006.
Authorities say he was fixing a gas leak when he discovered the secret compartment.
Cherokee officials have called the U.S. Secret Service to help with the case.
