Californian stripper Tara Mishra, who had $1 million in cash seized by police on suspicion it was drug money, will get her life savings back after a federal judge ordered it be repaid to the 33-year-old, saying there was no indication it was illegally earned.

Back in 2012, Mishra's friends, Rajesh and Marina Dheri, were driving her cash across country when Nebraska State Troopers booked them for speeding. Officers then got permission to search the car.

In the back, they found two bags filled with cash, and arrested the Dheri's, believing it could be drug money.

But Mishra had been shaking her money-maker since since she was 18, and claimed the more than $1m in cash was squirreled away over her 15-year stripping career.

She said the money was for her half of a New Jersey nightclub venture with the Dehri's, as she was done with stripping.

Documents confirmed her story and no strong link to drugs was found. The judge finally ordered all $1,074,900 of Mishra's stripper money to be repaid, plus the interest she missed out on in the intervening year.
