For Immediate Release: May 7, 2012
Contact: Carmen Fenton, 512-469-0171
MUSKOGEE, OKLA. – A Connors State College student was arrested today for allegedly stealing and selling 5 head of cattle from the school’s agriculture program.
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Rangers Bart Perrier and John Cummings arrested Artrell Mark Carmouche, 23, of Humble, Texas, after information surfaced that Carmouche, who attended the school on a rodeo scholarship, allegedly took 5 stolen cows to a sale barn in Bristow, Okla., where he sold them for approximately $5,400.
“Connors State College has been great to work with during this investigation and steps have already been taken to prevent these types of crimes in the future,” said Perrier.
Carmouche is currently being held in the Muskogee County jail charged with larceny of domestic animals. Bond is set at $5,000.
