A Jefferson City man was placed on two years unsupervised probation for pleading guilty to a charge in connection with stealing $1,500 worth of lottery tickets while working at a local convenience store.

Authorities said Howard was seen on store security cameras doing this.
Howard admitted to taking the tickets when questioned by authorities.
