"Everyone on scene was asked if the bag or its contents belonged to any of them, and all denied ownership, including Bill Kapri," the report alleged.

"When Kapri was informed of the money in the bag, he attempted multiple times to have the money turned over to him, claiming it belonged to his business. Kapri, however, would not claim the bag or any of its contents," the report said.

Kapri's attorney did not immediately respond to ABC News for comment.
