Fort Mill, South Carolina – A 33-year-old FedEx driver, Marvin Naquan Mann, Jr., from Charlotte, has been charged with theft after allegedly stealing South Carolina Education Lottery scratch-off tickets. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division announced the charges on August 11, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations against Mann, which include intent to defraud and counterfeit game tickets.

The investigation was prompted by a request from the South Carolina Education Lottery, leading to scrutiny of Mann’s actions on June 27. On this date, it is alleged that Mann pilfered a batch of scratch-off lottery tickets that were meant for delivery. According to reports, he attempted to redeem these stolen tickets at a local Circle K Store in Fort Mill.

Surveillance footage from the store corroborated the claims against Mann, showing him presenting the stolen tickets to a clerk for scanning. This footage played a crucial role in the investigation, as it provided concrete evidence of Mann’s illicit actions.

During a subsequent interview with law enforcement, Mann reportedly confessed to stealing some tickets while they were in his possession during transit.

The prosecution of Mann will be handled by the 16th Circuit Court Solicitor’s Office.
