Ten motorists traveling through Princeton, West Virginia had visions of Benjamin Franklin dancing in their heads Monday afternoon after being pulled over by West Virginia state troopers. 

Whom they should thank remains a mystery. 

The Princeton Detachment of the West Virginia State Police recently received an anonymous $1,000 donation with the stipulation that the money be doled out to individuals in the community one C-note at a time.

Drivers expecting to be ticketed for traffic violations instead drove away $100 richer.  

Four troopers participated in the what the division is calling its “Santa Stops” program, one of several similar initiatives making headlines across the country and even Canada.
