junction with multiple other law enforcement agencies to stop widespread criminal activity and make sure thieves are held accountable for their actions,” said Hurley. “This type of theft case can negatively impact ranchers who rely on using equip- ment, such as ATVs, to perform their daily operations. This is why TSCRA special rangers investigate more than livestock theft.”

IM BOB BEENE, 48, PLAINVIEW, WAS ARRESTED JAN. 22 AND CHARGED WITH 1 COUNT OF THIRD degree felony theft of livestock after stealing a calf from the Plainview Rodeo
Arena. After the arrest was made, he was charged with 2 additional counts of third degree felony theft of livestock after he confessed to stealing 5 other calves from a rancher who runs cattle in Swisher County. TSCRA Special Ranger Dean Bohannon led the investigation with assistance
from TSCRA Special Ranger Harold Dempsey, Plainview Police Detective Coby Niell, Hale County District Attorney Wally Hatch and Swisher County District At- torney Mike Criswell. Beene was taken to the Plainview Police Department for an interview where he
confessed to stealing 5 calves from a Canyon rancher he was building fence for in Swisher County. Beene said he stole 3 calves on one night and the other 2 calves on the next night. After stealing the calves, Beene sold them to a man who lives west of Turkey.
Dempsey made contact with the man who bought the stolen calves from Beene and they were recovered. “Thanks to the hard work and assistance of Special Ranger Dempsey, Detective
Niell, and District Attorneys Hatch and Criswell, we were able to arrest another cattle thief,” said Bohannon. “Along with branding cattle, I always encourage ranch- ers to securely lock their gates, keep a close watch over their herds and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement as soon as possible.”
