CITIZEN AND LOCAL BUSINESS TO REWARD TEENS WHO TURNED IN LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO THE MILWAUKIE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Posted: July 23rd, 2010 4:05 PM
This is a follow-up report on the July 16th Found Property incident. On that date two teen boys discovered a large sum of cash money (in the hundreds) on the ground in the parking lot of the Milwaukie Rite-Aid Store, 10860 SE Oak Street, in Milwaukie.
The teens turned the money over to the Milwaukie Police Department as Found Property. Milwaukie police officers were impressed by both teens' honesty and integrity.
Naomi Farmer, a citizen who later saw the boys' story on the local television news, called the Milwaukie Police Department and wanted to personally reward the two boys for their selfless acts of honesty and integrity. Naomi is in touch with the parents of the teen boys. She is donating $50, and has a local videogame business matching her $50 donation.
The teens had mentioned in their interview with media that had they kept the money, they likely would have bought new videogames. Naomi Farmer and Videogame Wizard will help make that wish come true; each will be rewarded with free videogames.
Videogame Wizard is located at 9712 SE Foster Road. The boys will meet at the store at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 24. The store phone number is: 503-771-6440.
Janette Howell, the mother of Michael Howell, and relative of Joseph Johnson, is willing to speak to the media and allow the boys to be contacted.
Naomi Farmer is also willing to speak with the media about why she and the videogame store will be rewarding the two teens by giving them free videogames.
Naomi Farmer's phone number for contact is: 503-704-7079
Janette Howell is the contact for the two teen boys. She can be reached at: 503-358-8209, or 503-777-9697. Her address is: 6312 SE Fern Avenue, Portland, OR 97206
The teen boys' names are: Michael Howell (13-years-old) and Joseph Johnson (13-years-old.)
(No one has yet contacted the police department about the large sum of money. Officers contacted the Rite-Aid pharmacy and informed them of the incident. The pharmacy has checked with clients, but so far no one has come forward to claim the found property.)
