\"vcsPRAsset_901109_77579_9080935a-bdf3-4cf4-8dd8-d5073a1a979e_0_TSCRA\"<\/a>MARSHALL \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Authorities report a fourth suspect was arrested May 3 and charged with third-degree felony theft of livestock after allegedly helping three other suspects in an East Texas cattle theft case. Twelve head of penned yearling cattle were taken from a Harrison County ranch on Sept. 30, 2014. All four suspects are now under indictment as of April 30 and were arrested on various dates. A joint investigation was conducted by Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger Larry Hand and Harrison County Sheriff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Investigator BJ Fletcher. <\/p>\n

Officials say Hand and many local authorities have been working on this investigation since last Sept. 30 and evidentiary leads spanned across four counties. The arrest of the fourth suspect, Alex Christopher Hinton, 34, of Carthage, occurred after Hinton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s employer and the alleged suspect\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s truck were located in March 2015. Witnesses had described a flatbed truck to Hand in October and he was able to locate the suspect\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s truck in March with help from DPS Intelligence, according to officials. Panola County deputies arrested Hinton after indictment. <\/p>\n

On Sept. 30, 2014, Stacie Laine Soape, 43; Hinton; Michael Duane Nettles, 31; and Elizabeth Ann Newton, all from Carthage, allegedly stole the yearlings around midnight. Soape, Nettles, and Newton then allegedly returned to the ranch later that night and stole saddles and tools. Seven of the twelve head of cattle have been retrieved, and Hinton allegedly took his share of five head of yearlings from a hidden location in Panola County on the night of the theft. Three saddles, assorted tack, and numerous power tools and equipment were recovered on Oct. 2, 2014.<\/p>\n

Anyone with further information regarding the unaccounted five head of stolen cattle in this case should contact TSCRA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Operation Cow Thief hotline at 888-830-2333 or call Hand at 903-592-5252. A cash reward may be paid to individuals who can provide useful information leading to the arrest and indictment of suspect(s). Individuals reporting information may choose to remain anonymous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
