A deputy hit the jackpot Wednesday when he walked into a local convenience store and saw two suspects wanted for burglary cashing in lottery tickets they had stolen just hours earlier. Eric Lee Rogers, 26, and Ashley Jean West, 29, both of Rebel Hill Street, have been arrested and face more than 10 charges for breaking into three stores and vandalizing another early Wednesday morning. “Deputy Jared Jacobs walked into The Smoke Shop and he noticed them cashing in lottery tickets,” said Sheriff’s Department chief investigator Marc Martin.
