Pity the plight of winning hundreds of millions in the coveted Powerball sweepstakes.
The man who won the $167 million Powerball lottery is back in jail after allegedly burglarizing a Kentucky home, according to court documents.
James Farthing was arrested Saturday on burglary and marijuana-possession charges.
Farthing broke into the home where a victim said he stole $12,000 that she stored in her home, police said.
This is the latest criminal investigation Farthing has been involved in since he won the jackpot last year.
Farthing was arrested a year ago in Florida on charges of battery and resisting an officer. He pled guilty earlier this month.
He still has active cases in Kentucky for a hit-and-run and an intimidation charge.
The $167 million in his bank account will ensure Farthing has no problem making bail – now or forever.
