The Kentucky Bankers offered a reward of $500 leading to the arrest and conviction of three men who robbed First State Bank. Murrell Denny was an employee of First State and claimed the reward for his assistance in giving the police details of the crime and identifying the robbers. The trial court held that Denny was not entitled to the reward because he was acting within the scope of his employment. Instead, the court awarded the money to an officer from another jurisdiction who assisted in the arrest. Is Denny entitled to the reward?
