HUTCHINSON – A Kansas teen was acknowledged on Thursday for his honesty and integrity for turning in a large sum of money he found.

Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Detective Jason Burley went to Hutchinson High School and awarded Jaydon Maldonado a Certificate of Commendation and a Challenge Coin from the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office, according to a report on social media.

In early August Jaydon’s stepfather contacted the sheriff’s office after Jaydon found a large sum of money in the disability section at Intrust Bank Arena following the Lady Antebellum concert on July 25.

Jaydon found $900.00 lying on the ground and he turned it in to Intrust so the owner could reclaim the money.
