A Fort Dodge man is charged with First Degree Theft and Lottery Fraud, a total of three Felony counts.

Christopher A. Breyfogle, was arrested Monday.

According to the Division of Criminal Investigation $20,000 dollars worth of lottery tickets went missing from the gas station where Breyfogle worked in June, July and August of 2016 while the store was being sold from Kum & Go to Yesway.  The discovery of the missing tickets was made after an Iowa Lottery employee spotted Breyfogle cashing in a large number of tickets at another retail store in Fort Dodge.  

The employee reported the odd behavior and a criminal investigation was launched. 

The DCI says Breyfogle cashed in $11,000 in winning tickets around central Iowa before his arrest.
