NGL, the bolded part is the sole reason I wanted to post this.

Body camera footage from a Florida police officer shows a Kentucky Powerball jackpot winner, who collected his prize just hours before, getting arrested for allegedly kicking an officer in the face during a fight.

James Farthing and his girlfriend, Jacqueline Fightmaster, were arrested at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, in April, according to an arrest affidavit and court records obtained and reviewed by USA TODAY.

Imagine getting into a fight with someone named Jacqueline Fightmaster lol

I saw this on reddit, and apparently since he was on probation in Kentucky he would have gotten a VoP anyway because Kentucky considers lotteries to be gambling

Man if you break this down this is really kind of wild. Legit already at a resort just hours after collecting. Like nothing wrong with enjoying your money or anything but just a mere few hours after collecting I think I would just be at home still kind of stunned and thinking about what to do and how to get my stuff in order.

Also just hours after collecting I would be so on cloud nine I can't imagine a scenario where I would get in a fight over an argument while at a resort. Like, you are rich and never need to work again and you are chilling at a resort, why so mad?

Found your reason:

According to a separate arrest affidavit, Farthing's girlfriend is accused of trying to fight other patrons in the resort bar.

She appeared very intoxicated and was yelling, screaming and making incoherent statements, the affidavit reads.

The dude seemed really drunk in the video, so I'm guessing that was what sparked the fight.

Ninja'd, guess they were both really drunk lol

What makes it even funnier is that the argument started because somebody didn't believe he was rich

Dumb trashy fucks are often not capable of thinking or planning ahead and part of what makes them so problematic is that they always live in the moment. Imagine being someone already prone to confrontational, violent behavior and suddenly you're given a sum of money that you perceive makes you invincible.

Getting into a fight at a resort is peak lottery winner behavior.

I guess this is one of those things where a lot of us is thinking the exact same thing "oh yeah, look at this lotto winner going broke/blew all their money buying this hilariously stupid thing. If it was me, I'd put like 95 percent of this into savings n' investments and just chill with the last bit where I'm at easy peazy", but if it actually happened (winning a lottery) there is just no telling if that mental fortitude will actually hold, lol.

I remember when I came into like 20K, and I have seen family act like I never seen them act before in my entire life. (Demanding that they get some of that, and some arguments about it). I also bought a lot of stupid things that I can't even remember what most of it was. (One of them was my desktop PC setup back in 2005 I think it was). Like, if my family and some associates around me act that different about that amount of money, maaaaaan I don't even want to imagine the kind of craziness landing on 100+ mil would cause.
