Extensive Special Ranger investigation leads to 12 counts of theft for Jesus Sergio Perez-Sanchez.
Former Lindale ranch manager, Jesus Sergio Perez-Sanchez, was indicted by the Smith County Grand Jury on 12 counts of theft of livestock. The indictment is a result of a lengthy investigation by Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Rangers Larry Hand, Bo Fox and Darrel Bobbitt.
Perez-Sanchez was arrested in March 2022 for two counts of theft after an absentee landowner noticed discrepancies in cattle sales and called Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Rangers. After a lengthy investigation, Special Ranger Hand presented evidence alleging 10 additional counts of theft that occurred from May 2018 to November 2021.
The grand jury indicted Perez-Sanchez in April 2023 for all 12 charges, each a third-degree felony with a $25,000 bond. Perez-Sanchez faces a possible confinement of 10 years with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, as well as a fine up to $10,000 for each felony.
Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association would like to thank the Smith County Criminal District Attorney’s Office for their assistance, and the grand jury for fulfilling their civic duties during this case.
