Suspicious speedster questioned by FBI
$51,516 in cash found in car
Safford Police officer Brian Avila found something unusual when performing a vehicle search after pulling over a reckless driver on Tuesday - $51,516 in cash.
Aurangzeb M. Sheikh, 19, of Texas was pulled over by Safford Police after they witnessed him driving his black, 2007 BMW G-6 sportscar recklessly on Highway 70. He also drove south on First Avenue at speeds estimated at 80 mph. Sheikh was given a citation for speeding and performing an unsafe lane change.
According to his report, prior to Sheikh leaving, Avila asked him if he had any illegal items in his vehicle. Sheikh stated he did not and then consented to a vehicle search.
Avila found a marijuana grinder, a marijuana joint, an Islamic Republic of Pakistan international driving permit and $51,516 in cash in a duffle bag on the passenger seat.
“When you find those items in that kind of car with someone so young, it raises eyebrows,” Chief John Griffin said.(snip)
