Fiani said he picked up the money from the sheriff's department and "it's all going to charitable organizations."
He said the non-profits benefiting from the cash include the sheriff's department's Shop With a Cop program, which pairs police officers with underprivileged children to shop for Christmas gifts, as well as Make-A-Wish and Gleaners Community Food Bank.
"It's found money and it's the right thing to do," Fiani said. "I wish I had more to give away."
Sheriff Bob Bezotte applauded Fiani's generosity.
"I think it's an honorable thing to do; it's nice to help kids when you can," Bezotte said. "It's a perfect time to do that."
