Four people who allegedly stole over $150,000 in lottery tickets indicted by Colorado grand jury
A Colorado grand jury has indicted three men and a woman who investigators say stole over $150,000 worth of lottery scratch tickets in at least 45 separate thefts from stores across the Front Range. That total includes the retail value of the tickets themselves and prize winnings, according to investigators. The Colorado Lottery Investigation Unit assisted with the investigation and the indictments detail the course of events at each alleged theft in detail. Prosecutors say the suspects -- Richard McBee, 48; Adam Pacheco, 41; Tawny McCurry, 35; and David Goetken, 56 -- employed a similar strategy in each of their alleged thefts, which spanned August 2023 to November 2024: - Find gas stations and convenience stores with just a single clerk. - Lure them away from the counter. - Then, have an accomplice grab the tickets. Investigators say they would tell the clerk things like they needed propane, they spilled gas or their credit card was stuck in a gas pump. McBee would then redeem winnings from those tickets at another gas station or store, often within hours of stealing them, according to the indictment against him.

Richardson/The Denver Post via Getty Images "The individuals accused of these lottery ticket retail thefts harmed businesses along the Front Range," said Attorney General Phil Weiser, whose office brought the case to a grand jury. "Colorado Lottery sales proceeds go toward preserving and protecting state parks, trails and open spaces, so Coloradans who enjoy the great outdoors are also victims of Lottery theft." The indictments charge McBee with four counts of class-4 felony theft, Pacheco with one count of class-4 felony theft, McCurry with one count of class-5 felony theft, and Goetken with one count of class-5 felony theft. McBee's, Pacheco's, and McCurry's cases are in El Paso County and Goetken's case is in Arapahoe County. The stores allegedly targeted by the four suspects included 7-Elevens, Circle K gas stations, Conocos, Kum & Go gas stations, Loaf N' Jugs and more in Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver, and other cities along the Front Range. Bond was set at $10,000 for each of the four suspects. Court records show menacing, burglary, fraud, and several theft cases for McBee across the Denver metro area, as well as in mountain communities, going back to 2019. The other three defendants also have similar records, except for Pacheco, who has cases going back to 2005, which include drug-related charges and an escape from custody in 2013.

4 indicted on theft charges, accused of stealing over $150K in scratch Lottery tickets
DENVER (KDVR) — A statewide grand jury indicted four people on charges relating to the theft of instant-win scratch game tickets along Colorado's Front Range. The thefts are alleged to have been accomplished in similar manners: At a gas station where only one attendant was on duty, one person would distract the attendant with something outside, like a supposed gas spill or a credit card allegedly stuck in the pump. Then the other suspect would sneak behind the counter and steal Colorado Lottery tickets. View winning lottery numbers and the next drawings in Colorado Retailers will provide customers who come in with a ticket that has a prize of less than $600 with their cash earnings and later be reimbursed by the Colorado Lottery, allowing the player to gather their winnings sooner than by going to one of the four Colorado Lottery claims centers. Some stores have lower amounts they are willing to pay out, such as $200. Prosecutors said one of the suspects, Richard McBee, committed at least 45 separate lottery scratch ticket thefts between August 2023 and November 2024. The others indicted in the incidents were identified as Adam Pacheco, Tawny McCurry and David Goetken. Thefts were reported in Denver, Boulder, Arapahoe and El Paso counties, as well as other municipalities. Before the stolen tickets could be discovered, prosecutors said McBee would go to a different gas station or store and redeem prizes from the stolen tickets. McBee and the three other suspects would cash in the lottery tickets at the retailers, never obtaining over $600 from one location, to avoid going to a claims center. Between the retail value of the stolen tickets and the prize money awarded, the Colorado Attorney General's Office said the total value of the thefts was over $150,000. 'The individuals accused of these lottery ticket retail thefts harmed businesses along the Front Range. Colorado Lottery sales proceeds go toward preserving and protecting state parks, trails, and open spaces, so Coloradans who enjoy the great outdoors are also victims of Lottery theft,' said Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser in an AG's office release. Man found guilty of murder in DUI crash that killed US Air Force lieutenant colonel McBee is facing four counts of Class 4 felony theft. Pacheco is facing one count of Class 4 felony theft, and McCurry and Goetken each are facing one count of Class 5 felony theft. 'The Colorado Lottery's Security & Investigations section is dedicated to ensuring the integrity and security of its games, as well as protecting its customers and retailers,' Colorado Lottery Senior Director Tom Seaver said in the AG's office release.

Attorney General: Four indicted for instant-win scratch game theft
(COLORADO) — Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced on Monday, April 28, that a Colorado grand jury indicted four people for committing a series of thefts involving Colorado Lottery instant-win scratch game tickets across the state. Three suspects–Richard McBee, Adam Pacheco, and Tawny McCurry–were indicted in El Paso County. The case against the fourth suspect, David Goetken, was filed in Arapahoe County. According to the indictments, McBee committed at least 45 separate thefts of lottery scratch tickets between August 2023 and November 2024. McBee followed similar patterns with each theft, targeting gas stations and stores with only one clerk. McBee or his accomplice would then lure the clerk away or distract them by purchasing propane tanks, claiming a credit card was stuck in a gas pump, or spilling gasoline. While they were distracted, McBee would then sneak around the counter and steal high-value lottery scratch tickets from the store's dispenser. McBee would then redeem prizes from the stolen lottery tickets at other gas stations before the theft was discovered. According to the Attorney General, between the retail value of the stolen tickets and the prize money, the total value of the thefts was over $150,000. 'The individuals accused of these lottery ticket retail thefts harmed businesses along the Front Range. Colorado Lottery sales proceeds go toward preserving and protecting state parks, trails, and open spaces, so Coloradans who enjoy the great outdoors are also victims of Lottery theft,' said Attorney General Weiser. 'I am grateful for the team effort with local law enforcement and Lottery investigators. We'll hold these individuals to account for their actions and the harm they caused to the victims and our state.' McBee was charged with four counts of Felony Theft, Pacheco with one count of Felony Theft, McCurry with one count of Felony Theft, and Goetken with one count of Felony Theft.

TômTex and Modern Meadow Dive Into the Future of Alternative Materials
Material innovation continues to bring forth more sustainable alternatives for some traditional materials, like polyester, nylon or leather. Ross McBee, co-founder and chief strategy officer of TômTex, and David Williamson, CEO of Modern Meadow, joined Alexandra Harrell, sustainability & innovation reporter at Sourcing Journal, in New York City for the Sourcing Journal Sustainability Summit to discuss the opportunities and challenges that exist along the path to the future of alternative materials. More from Sourcing Journal Inside Gen Z's Sustainability Conundrum Material World: Lubay Takes the Leap, BioFabricate's Call to Action Coach and Gen Phoenix Talk Circularity and Partnership Modern Meadow and TômTex both make leather alternatives, and Williamson and McBee said that their respective companies have already been able to solve one of the most major hurdles plaguing some material innovation pioneers: adaptability. That is to say, the ability for the materials made to be integrated into existing supply chains, without extra equipment. For Williamson, that differentiator has been paramount to Modern Meadow's value proposition. 'By having a material that has the same chemistry and functionality that the leather industry is familiar with, it allows them to basically take this material and drop it directly into their tanning and retaining processes,' Williamson said. TômTex, which uses shellfish and mushrooms as the base of its leather alternatives, said making it easier on manufacturers has remained a goal for the startup, which was honored by Time for creating one of its best inventions in 2024. 'We worked really hard to make sure that none of the processes that we do are unfamiliar to people—like all the production processes are things that can happen on existing textile equipment,' McBee told Harrell. But ease of use isn't the only supply chain consideration potential clients have taken an interest in, McBee noted. They also want to better understand where the materials are sourced—particularly in the face of geopolitical and economic uncertainties. As President Donald Trump's tariff regime rages on, supply chain professionals have prioritized further diversifying their sourcing hubs. Because TômTex focuses on alternative leather, which requires a sequence of fewer processes than spun or woven alternative materials, McBee said its supply chain is fairly transparent. That provides it an advantage when speaking to clients—but it also means those clients can more easily speak to their consumers about sustainability. 'I can tell you quite precisely, quite often, where this material came from, what we did to it and why that's important, why that's valuable,' he said. 'Then, we can help you communicate that to the customer, as well, and be able to provide the transparency that I think a lot of people really are looking for in this space when they think about sustainability, talk about sustainability.' As many brands continue to—or begin to—interface with material innovation companies about introducing novel materials into their collections, sustainability isn't the only consideration anymore, Williamson said. 'Big brands are very interested in having a robust, sustainable material that also helps them meet their 2030, 2035 goals. The smaller brands are really looking for a beautiful, high-performing material that allows them to have a specific marketing narrative,' he said, noting that now, 'Sustainability is viewed as a feature to the material, not the driving reason they're adopting.' For that reason, both McBee and Williamson said alternative materials need to have an attractive consumer story attached to them. They also need to have an attractive feel, touch and fit, particularly as brands transition alternative materials into mass market collections, rather than small, trial collections. 'It's a really interesting journey to go from both for us…to go from these sort of capsule collections to being a true industry player, to being an established thing that sort of has its own category, that people know how to think about it, people know where it slots into their larger strategies. I think that's the thing that the space really needs,' McBee said. As Modern Meadow, TômTex and other material innovation companies charge forth, barriers to entry still exist—and both McBee and Williamson said it will be paramount for legislation and consumer sentiment to further encourage the materials' many companies haven't fulfilled the hopes they set out to accomplish when they began working on alternative materials, and brands know that creating such materials can be a tall order. Williamson said, even when material innovation companies bring an excellent product to the table, they still face doubts over whether their sustainable product can create a sustainable business model that can survive in the long term. 'One of the biggest barriers we see for adoption is not, 'Does the material work?' [It's] not, 'Is it attractive and beautiful?' It is, 'Are you going to be here in three years, and is your product going to be here in three years? Am I going to make a bet on you?'' Williamson said. Once brands make bigger bets on companies like TômTex and Modern Meadow, neither McBee nor Williamson anticipate traditional materials—in their cases, leather—will disappear into the abyss. They both know the market has room for both traditional and alternative materials. 'I don't think this field is going to completely displace the long and beautiful history of [leather] or any other textile. I think the way to think about it is that these materials become part of the conversation, become part of the things that people understand can be in the world, and therefore, they start asking for them more and more and more,' McBee said. But what Williamson believes alternative material companies can provide that traditional materials cannot is a high degree of flexibility. 'The cow can only innovate so much,' Williamson joked. 'We can continue to engineer and innovate inside of our material, probably into perpetuity.' Sign in to access your portfolio
