Lottery Winner Arrested After Kicking Deputy, Squandering Jackpot
Following a record-breaking $167.3 million Powerball win, Kentucky resident James Farthing was arrested in Florida on multiple charges. The arrest stemmed from an altercation at a St. Pete Beach establishment where Farthing allegedly kicked a deputy in the face during a dispute with another patron. Authorities apprehended Farthing after a brief struggle, and he was booked into the Pinellas County jail. This incident occurred just days after Farthing claimed his winnings, which he will share with his mother.
