An $84 paycheck turned into an $84k overpayment: Now former carrier is suing the newspaper parent company.

A former paper carrier is suing the parent company of his old newspaper, the Asheboro Courier-Tribune, saying it didn’t have the right to prosecute him for keeping a massive overpayment.

Daniel Oliver Routh was supposed to get an $84.53 “paycheck” deposited into his bank account. But on June 3, he was suddenly $84,530 richer. According to his lawsuit, he thought the money was his to keep and spend. And spend he did.

He now faces criminal charges in Randolph County even though, according to the suit, he has tried to repay a “significant” part of that overpayment. So he is suing his former employer, calling those charges malicious prosecution.
