A Texas man was detained by the police for giving 75 cents to a homeless man. Greg Snider was pulled over by an officer, handcuffed, and accused of giving the homeless man drugs instead of change. "We saw you downtown, we saw what you did," the police reportedly told him. After searching his car, the police released Snider and apologized for the misunderstanding.
