A Detroit man is in custody after a witness saw him drop a large wad of cash in the street and called police.

Police say Frankie Leon Morrison, 39, faces federal bank robbery charges and fleeing police after stealing cash at gunpoint from Fifth Third Bank in this northern Kentucky suburb of Cincinnati.

As police hurried to the bank, delivery man Kevin NiBlack watched a jaywalker cross the street in front of the bank.

"The wad of money I saw dropped in the street was large enough to choke a mule," NiBlack told The Enquirer of Cincinnati.

So NiBlack flagged down the next police officer he saw and pointed to where he saw the man run. Police officers chased the suspect and eventually forced him to surrender.

Bellevue Police Chief William Cole praised NiBlack for helping nab Morrison.

"I just did what I thought was right," said NiBlack, of Norwood, Ohio.

"I work — sometimes seven days a week — trying to make an honest living like every man pursuing the American dream, and someone had the audacity to rob a bank in front of me," he said.
