Bond was set Tuesday for the two by a Flowood municipal
judge. Odis Latham, 47, received a $51,000 bond, and
Russell Sparks, 48, was given a $21,000 bond during their
initial court appearance via video conference from jail.
They both pleaded not guilty. Sparks is scheduled for a
preliminary hearing Thursday. No date has been set for a
preliminary hearing for Latham.
Latham and Sparks, 48, both of Columbus, were charged
with conspiracy to commit a felony and uttering a
counterfeit instrument over $1,000. Latham was also
charged with false ID Information.
Mississippi Lottery Corp. spokeswoman Meg Annison said
the two individuals came to the lottery headquarters in
Flowood Monday morning seeking to claim the prize.Annison
said lottery officials immediately determined the ticket
had been altered. It appeared glue had been used.
Annison said the Lottery Corp. has measures in place to
ensure a ticket is legitimate, including a bar code.
Sgt. Adam Nelson of the Flowood Police Department said
about 9:20 a.m., Flowood police received a call from the
Mississippi Lottery Corp. in reference to two adult males
attempting to pass a fake lottery ticket.
Flowood officers arrived on scene moments later and took
both subjects into custody. After speaking with lottery
officials, officers learned that the suspects presented a
$100,000 ticket that had been altered by gluing the
winning numbers on the ticket that matched the prize. The
ticket was signed and presented to the commission for
payment.
