A dopey South Carolina crook swiped lotterty tickets from a potential employer during a job interview – and he was caught trying to cash a measly $5 winner, authorities said.
Antonio Levon Ricardo Stewart was arrested last week after allegedly swiping several scratch-offs while he was being interviewed for a job at a Murphy USA gas station in Florence on May 6, 2025, WLTX reported.
The pilfering prospective hire then took six of the tickets and tried to cash them at three other stores – including two located on the same strip as his potential employer, according to a warrant.
All in all, only one of the tickets ended up being a winner — for just $5, authorities said.
Stewart was charged on three counts of intent to defraud game tickets, and was booked into Florence County jail, before posting a $5,000 bond on Aug. 26, records show.
Stewart could not be reached for comment.
