BOISE -- A Boise man is facing felony charges after police say he attempted to cash a stolen lottery ticket.
Douglas Ray Langley Jr., 24, was arrested Wednesday night and booked into the Ada County.
Officers say around 6 p.m. a man entered a convenience store at Cole and Ustick roads in Boise and tried to cash a lottery ticket.
That ticket had been reported as stolen to the Idaho Lottery and put into their computer system as a stolen ticket. When the clerk asked the man for ID he fled the store.
An employee was able to get a license plate number and vehicle description and provide that information to police. The vehicle was stopped a short time later and a search turned up several stolen lottery tickets, three stolen checks, and cash.
Detectives say these items had been stolen in a burglary at a tobacco store on the 3100 block of Cleveland Wednesday morning. Officers also found 22 grams of meth and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.
Langley is charged with felony grand theft by possession, felony possession with intent to deliver, felony illegal presentation of a lottery ticket, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and a probation violation.
