According to the Oregon State Police, the money was thrown out at around 7.20pm on April 11 in the city of Eugene.

"It's hundred-dollar bills floating around, and I'm like: "What!?" So my boyfriend and I decided to go one way, he went the other way, and so far I've found 300 dollars," an unidentified woman told a local channel.

Colin was not arrested or charged with any crimes. He told officers he threw the cash away because he was doing well financially and wanted to bless others with gifts of money.
