Suspect arrested in lottery-ticket theft

Authorities have arrested a man accused of stealing more than 1,500 lottery tickets last month from a gas station in North Little Rock.

The Police Department said on Twitter that Kenneth Mayweather has been charged with commercial burglary in the June 11 break-in at the Shell station at 6915 John F. Kennedy Blvd.

Video footage from the burglary showed a man with his face covered throwing something at the glass door. He later kicked and punched his way in, grabbing at least three racks of lottery tickets, the Arkansas

Democrat-Gazette previously reported.

Mayweather did not appear on the Pulaski County jail’s online inmate roster Wednesday afternoon.
