This is some of the dumbest "returning to the scene of the crime" action possible.
A 27-year-old guy named Herbert McClellan went to a Speedway gas station in Clearwater, Florida around 2:00 A.M. last Tuesday . . . and when the clerk was distracted, he reached over the counter and stole $102 worth of lottery scratchers.
Then he came back to the store a few hours later to cash in the $30 prize he'd won on one of them.
The employees immediately recognized him as the guy who'd stolen the lottery tickets and called the cops.
Herbert was arrested for petit theft and dealing in stolen property.
