James Farthing, 51, the Kentucky Powerball jackpot winner who won $167 million, is arrested again after police find him intoxicated and asleep in a running vehicle. Reports say deputies were called to a Walmart area where Farthing was inside a car that was still running.
Across outlets, the circumstances of the arrest are described similarly: he is found asleep while intoxicated, and law enforcement responds to the scene in Kentucky. The reports also describe Farthing as having recently taken home the state’s largest Powerball prize, emphasizing the connection between his lottery win and the subsequent arrest. Both accounts frame the incident as another arrest following earlier legal trouble, but they focus mainly on what police observe at the time of this stop.
While details differ slightly in wording—such as the location description and the specific vehicle information—the core facts align: Farthing is located in a running car after calls to authorities, and he is taken into custody based on the officers’ assessment of his intoxication.
