WARNER ROBINS -- A Bonaire man is accused of threatening a Warner Robins man and his family over $750,000 in winnings from a lottery ticket the man claims belongs to him and not the winner.

Jose Antonio Cua-Toc, 25, was arrested Saturday by Warner Robins police and charged with terroristic threats, according to a police report and Houston County jail records.

Cua-Toc is accused of repeatedly calling Erick and Sonia Cervantes and threatening “to kill each of them and their children if they did not give him some of the lottery winnings that they had recently won,” the police report stated.

Erick Cervantes, 31, told The Telegraph on Nov. 23 that he sent a friend to the OM Food Mart

Lots of speculation that the winner was an illegal and made a deal with the other guy to cash the ticket and split the money. Didn't work out that way. IS there no honor among thieves? I feel sorry for neither. Mr. Cervantes better watch his back IF he did indeed swindle the other fella out of that money. He and his whole family will end up dead. People are crazy when it comes to money.

...he planned to use part of the winnings to trade in his Dodge Ram 1500 for a new Cadillac Escalade.

Glad to see his priorities are in order. /s

I won $1000 on a scratch off ticket and the 7-11 clerk tells a lady that I won on the same ticket she buys.

The lady starts cursing me out and calling on the people in the store to “beat the crap out of this guy!”

Wiinning can be hell, apparently.

I could be wrong, but aren’t they playing fast and loose with the word ‘terrorist’? What would he have been charged with if it was before 9/11/01?

I can think of four people in this story who should be deported. Mr. Cua-Toc to Vietnam.

[bolobaby]

Exactly. This is not terrorism - it’s one guy pissed at another. They love to misuse the law, don’t they.

Must be a “hate crime” too.

Sigh.

Celebrate Diversity!

If I recall correctly, threatening to commit a violent crime against another person is considered a “terroristic threat”. You are instilling fear (terror) in the person to whom you are threatening violence.

No, it’s the culture of bringing in good for nothing messycans by the millions.
