MEDINA, Ohio – Police in Ohio said a middle school student took $25,000 from his grandfather and later started handing out $100 bills to his classmates.

Authorities said the 13-year-old gave out thousands of dollars this week before schools officials discovered what was happening.

Investigators in the northeastern Ohio city of Medina recovered about $7,000 so far.

Police told The Medina Gazette they are still trying to figure out how the boy got the money from his 83-year-old grandfather. They said it’s too early to know if charges will be filed.

School officials heard about the cash giveaway Wednesday. But by that time, police said some of the money already was spent.
