It may be possible to use it against the person but there are defenses that could be used such as why was the person stopped to begin with or where was the money and gloves.

I would request hiring an attorney immediately if you're being charged under such circumstances. You may reach us at 212-405-2234

Yes. It sounds like Criminal Possession of Stolen Property. Depending on how the money was found it may be suppressed and case dismissed.
