(BLOOMINGTON) - Bloomington police have arrested a man for lottery fraud following a three-week investigation.

Twenty-three-year-old Travis Watrous is accused of stealing seven lottery tickets, one of them worth $10,000.

When police confronted Watrous about his thefts, he reportedly admitted he'd been embezzling from the station since January.
