Some schoolchildren in Cranberry, Pennsylvania got a heck of a surprise a few days ago. While waiting for the bus, they discovered an unusual object. The discovery touched off a criminal investigation and a flurry of police activity completely unrelated to doughnuts. It isn't every day you find one of these at the bus stop.
CRANBERRY, Pa. – A fingertip found at a bus stop by schoolchildren, touching off a police investigation, was claimed Friday by a man who injured his hand in a snowblower accident. The man contacted Cranberry police Friday, a day after the children found it.
Police said the man told them the accident happened about two weeks ago when he was trying to clear a snowblower. He didn't bother to look for the finger; he just went to the hospital for treatment, said police Lt. Jeff Schueler.
We are trying to confirm that he told officers to keep the tip.
