Nearly 3 years ago, police in Arizona seized $39,500 from a Charlotte trucking company owner after accusing him of money laundering. They never filed any charges. Last weekend, he finally got his money back.

A nearly three-year legal saga ended for the owner of a North Carolina trucking company last weekend when he finally got back $39,500 that Phoenix police seized through civil asset forfeiture.Jerry Johnson flew from Charlotte to Phoenix in August 2020 with cash he planned to use at a vehicle auction to buy a third semi for his trucking company.

Phoenix police questioned him at Sky Harbor after finding the money split between his carry-on and checked baggage. They accused Johnson of being part of a money laundering operation and seized his cash after persuading him to sign a form indicating the money wasn't his, saying he'd be arrested if he didn't sign.Under civil asset forfeiture laws, the government can seize property it believes is connected to a crime — even if no one is charged — and the onus is on the property owner to hire an attorney to get it back.
