Strange story out of Clarion PA [View all]

Odd story out of my hometown: A man from Natchez, Mississippi, with a criminal record, who was an employee of a local gas station, and living in a hotel near the gas station, took a change purse accidentally left behind by a customer. He wouldn't give his true name to police, so they asked his employer for the information, which they gave. Now he is a resident of the Clarion County jail.

I guess he was desperate for money, and thought he found something that could help him survive, but he had to know he would be found out, right? Everything is on video.

The other strange thing is that a local business is hiring a drifter from Mississippi, when unemployment is a concern in the area. I guess it is because "no one wants to work"?
