A South Carolina man could lose close to $1 million cash for lacking a $1 license-plate bulb. According to a federal filing, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Charlotte, North Carolina, is seeking to seize $935,754 police reportedly found in the back seat of a vehicle during a traffic stop in May 2020.
Seneca Moore, 40, of Sumter, South Carolina, was reportedly driving his white Ford F-150 pickup on the main drag in Monroe when he was pulled over by police at approximately 10:15 p.m. in the parking lot of a Circle K on U.S. 74. The officers stopped him because he “was unable to tell if the license plate lights on the truck were working,” according to the press.
