Arrests Made in Sioux Falls Video Lottery Ticket Forgeries

Sioux Falls Police make arrests in connection with video lottery ticket forgeries and possession of drugs.

"We had nine different businesses that received some forged or altered lottery tickets," explains Police Information Officer Sam Clemens. "Last Wednesday our detectives got a search warrant for a house. They believe the equipment was there. They did find four forged lottery tickets that had not yet been passed. They had actually altered the dates for some time in the future. They were hanging on to those. There were drugs that were also found in the house. We had two people that were arrested. One person for the forged tickets. We believe that individual was responsible for these rash of tickets that we have seen. Both of them face drug charges."

Clemens says authorities are searching for one other person involved in the case and that more arrests are possible.
