WO SAN JACINTO COUNTY SUSPECTS TURNED THEMSELVES IN SEPT. 9 AFTER THEY WERE AC- cused of stealing 3 head of cattle from a San Jacinto County rancher. Texas
and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger Brent Mast led the investigation. TSCRA Special Ranger Jimmy Belt assisted. According to Mast, Joshua Sykes and Crystal Richardson sold the cattle Aug.
24 at the Navasota Livestock Auction. The cattle were branded with the victim’s brand. They were recovered a few days later and returned to the owner. “These cattle were branded, which made them easy to spot,” said Mast. “We
constantly remind ranchers that branded cattle are the quickest to track down and recover in the event that they are stolen.” TSCRA would like to thank Capt. Butch Davis and Investigator Stephen Cole,
Walker County Sheriff’s Offi ce, Investigators Daniel Wagnon and J.J. Jones, Grimes County Sheriff’s Offi ce, and the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Offi ce for their help with this case.
