According to South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, to the arrest warrant that they issued, it says, after the reported theft, Stewart allegedly tried to pass the lottery tickets at three other stores on camera, two of which were elsewhere on Irby Street, according to the News 19.
Of the tickets he's accused of redeeming at the store, he won a grand total of $5.
Over a year later, SLED, S-L-E-D, charged Stewart with three counts of intent to defraud counterfeit game tickets.
A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was booked into Florence County Detention Center.
Stewart allegedly also stole scratch-off tickets from several stores in Florence County as well.
