Sandpoint man cleared of lottery ticket theft

Posted: 8:33 am PDT October 26,2009

A Bonner County prosecutor has filed a motion dismissing charges brought against a 30-year-old northern Idaho man who was accused of trying to redeem a stolen lottery ticket.

Joshua Stone was charged with presenting an illegally obtained Idaho State Lottery ticket, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Bonner County authorities accused Stone of stealing lottery tickets from Laclede Store, where he was employed, last spring and trying to illegally claim a $600 prize.

The Bonner County Daily Bee reports court documents show the deputy prosecutor Larry Goins recently made a motion to dismiss the charge, saying it would best serve the "effective administration of the court's business."

Goins did not further explain the motion for dismissal.
