During a recent court hearing, an 80-year-old man named Edward Banner, a former General Motors employee, shared a surprising discovery he made back in 2018. Banner testified that he stumbled upon a firearm in a trash can outside a grocery store in Delaware. This revelation came to light as Prosecutor Derek Hines questioned Banner, who is a Navy veteran and has some hearing difficulties.
According to Banner, he had a long-standing hobby of collecting recyclables, a practice he had maintained even before his retirement. He mentioned that he used to earn a decent amount by selling recyclables, but the prices had significantly dropped over the years, with him now only getting around 75 cents per pound for his collection.
