A Kentucky man made history by winning the largest lottery prize in the state, only to find himself in jail just four days later, as reported by PEOPLE. 

On Saturday evening, April 26, James Farthing found out that his $2 Powerball ticket for his mother was a winner. They won a huge jackpot of $167.3 million. This is the biggest win in Kentucky’s lottery history, according to the Kentucky Lottery.

Farthing, 50, collected the winnings alongside his mother, Linda Grizzle, and posed for photos with the large check on Monday, April 28. The Georgetown native told to the Kentucky Lottery that “it’s going to be a good Mother’s Day” and also mentioned plans to “pay off my debt.” The celebration quickly came to an end on Wednesday, April 30, when Farthing found himself under arrest. 

As stated by USA Today, Farthing was at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, when a brawl erupted, during which he allegedly struck another guest in the face. His girlfriend was reportedly also involved in a confrontation with other hotel guests, according to USA Today.

He reportedly tried to resist arrest by running from the hotel but was caught, as reported by the outlet. 

Farthing faces one felony charge for battery against a law enforcement officer, along with two misdemeanor charges for battery and resisting arrest, in addition to a parole violation, according to court documents reviewed by PEOPLE.
