DECATUR, Ga. (AP) -- A former DeKalb County police detective has been sentenced to three years of probation for stealing cash and lottery tickets from a convenience store being searched by vice officers. District Attorney Gwen Keyes Fleming says 40-year-old Anthony A. Robinson pleaded guilty Thursday to violation of oath of public office. She says Robinson also must pay $300 in restitution and serve 250 hours of community service.

The DA's office says Robinson was caught on surveillance video at a CITGO Food Mart during the July 5 search stuffing cash from an evidence bag into his pants pocket and placing $20 worth of lottery tickets into a folder he was carrying.

The search followed a report of gambling with cash payouts at the store.
