Local Man Arrested For Felony Cattle Theft

A Fayette County man is behind bars in Karnes City following his arrest for felony cattle theft. The arrest is the result of an investigation by Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger Kenny Murchison.

Murchison initiated the investigation July 1, 2018, after a Fayette County rancher reported that he was missing six cows and a calf. The rancher noted that they went missing sometime between June 28 and June 30 while he was out of town. Murchison discovered tire tracks where the cattle had been loaded but had little else to go on until a tip pointed him to one of the ranch’s past employees.
