Tara Mishra, 33, of Rancho Cucamonga, was awarded back the $1+ million that was confiscated from her by Nebraska state troopers. A car filled with Mishra’s associates and her money were pulled over for speeding. Police asked to search the car and eventually found the stacks of cash.
Naturally when you find a million dollars you assume its drug related which led to the confiscation. In “reality” the money was in fact going to be used for a legitimate business venture.
Police did not find any evidence of drug activity in the car and a K-9 analysis found only trace elements of illegal drugs on the cash.
After a year of headaches, a judge ruled that since the police failed to find evidence of drug activity the cash had to be returned. Somehow Tara Mishra convinced the courts that a stripper can save and raise a cool milli one dollar at a time.
We salute you, Cochina.
