Store Clerk Accused of Stealing Lotto Tickets in Branch
An employee of a Quick Stop convenience store in Franklin County is being accused of stealing scratch-off lottery tickets, then cashing them in at the same store.

Demus Shaw, the owner of the store in Branch, says a female employee was stealing activated tickets during her shift. He says he believes he knows the amount of money that she gained from the stolen tickets. However, he won't release that information before discussing the issues with the Arkansas State Lottery Commission.

Authorities have not released the name of the suspect because the investigation is on-going.
