Prisoner regrets Bird tribute

05:49 AM ET 05.14 | Just about everyone thinks Eric Torpy is a birdbrain. In October 2005, Torpy asked an Oklahoma County judge to tack on three more years to his 30-year prison sentence for armed robbery and two counts of shooting with intent to kill. "He said if he was going down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey," Oklahoma District Judge Ray Elliott told the Associated Press back then. "He was just as happy as he could be." But after sharing a 10-foot-by-15-foot cell at the Davis Correctional Facility for the last six years, Torpy regrets asking for the extra time. "Now that I have to do that time, yes I do," says Torpy. "I kind of wished that I had 30 instead of 33. Recently I've wisened up. "That three is a big deal, you know? Three years matters." Torpy will turn 33 this year and is not eligible for parole until 2033.

Man Discovers $45k Stashed In His Attic
Thousands of dollars in cash... coins... and bonds are found in the attic of a home in Bountiful.
Talk Radio 105-7fm 570am

*** Josh Ferrin says there was a brief moment of "finders-keepers"...* but in the end, he knew what he had to do.

*** Ferrin and his wife had just purchased a home and were in the process of unpacking when he noticed a pice of carpet, sticking out of an access panel in the ceiling of his garage.* He got a ladder and found a metal box containing cash... coins... stamps and other mementos that had been neatly tucked away.* He says after all the counting was done... they had about $45,000 dollars in their hands.*

*** The man who stashed all that money away... Arnold Bangerter... died in November of 2010.* Ferrin contacted his family and told them he had found something that belonged to their father and they might be interested in having it back.* The family had no idea Bangerter had been stashing the money away for decades.

*** Ferrin says although he could have used the money to remodel their new home, he knew he couldn't keep it.* Besides... he says it was a great teaching moment for his two young sons.
