The Good Samaritan went straight to Clarksville Police who returned the money to its owner, a 51-year-old man who was in the hospital after suffering a reaction to medication, said police.
A surveillance camera outside the convenience store shows the man exiting the store, unwrapping an ice cream sandwich and leaving without the bag, reported Fox 4 News.

The owner has since called Allen to thank him, Allen told the Leaf Chronicle.
