A Florida man stole $7,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets from a gas station convenience store, then returned to the very same location less than two hours later and attempted – unsuccessfully – to cash in his winners, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Independent.
After equally unsuccessful second and third tries, suspect Justin Farley, 43, instead used a replica handgun to rob a nearby 7-Eleven, making off with $120 and a pack of Newport cigarettes, the affidavit states.
