A federal trial in Washington took an unexpected turn during jury deliberations. The case involved a man accused of assaulting convenience stores and gas stations, as well as stealing vehicles, in the spring of 2023. The jury made a surprising discovery while reviewing evidence, finding a Chinese yuan in a sweater and a suspicious white powder in a folded paper inside a jacket.

Prosecutors and the judge believed the powder appeared to be drugs. Further details about the case and the unexpected discovery are available from the source, KVIA ABC-7. The trial and its outcome are not specified in the available information.
