Man Convicted Of Burglarizing Closed State Line Lotto Store
April 11, 2014
A Century man has been convicted in connection with the burglary of the closed State Line O’ Yes Lotto on Highway 97 in Davisville last October.
Joseph Steve Davis, 53, was found guilty of trespassing in an occupied structure or coveyance, second degree petit theft and criminal mischief. He was sentenced to 12 months probation and 300 hours of community service.
At about 12:11 p.m. on October 10,2013, the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office received a report of a burglary in progress at the lottery store, which has been closed since owner Thomas “Tommy” Kroll was shot and killed during a robbery on November 6, 2012.
As Florida deputies arrived, Davis was attempting to flee the scene in his vehicle. Davis turned north on Highway 97, crossing into Atmore, Ala.
The Atmore Police Department conducted a traffic stop on Davis about six minutes later. He was taken into custody in Atmore on alcohol related charges. Davis reportedly took beer from the closed business.

Another soft sentence. If you knowingly enter another state, break into someone else’s structure, take items, and then flee you should not walk away with probation.
