Gonzales County man arrested for theft of two cow-calf pairs following a Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Investigation

FORT WORTH, Texas (October 21, 2024) — Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Ranger Robert Fields arrested Joshua Webb for the theft of two cow-calf pairs. Webb was charged with theft of livestock, a third-degree felony, and possession of a controlled substance.

In September 2024, Special Ranger Fields took a report from an individual reporting two cow-calf pairs that went missing from a property in DeWitt County. The cattle were last seen earlier that month.

During the investigation, Special Ranger Fields received information from a DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office investigator about two suspects who had sold cattle at a local sale barn. A Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Market Inspector confirmed that Sept. 11, 2024 two cow-calf pairs that matched the description of the stolen livestock were consigned by two individuals.  

Fields was able to recover both pairs and return them to their owner.

Before the investigation concluded, it was learned that one of the suspects had died. However, an arrest warrant was issued for the second suspect, Webb.

On Oct. 3, 2024, Fields received a tip on Webb’s whereabouts from a confidential informant.

Webb was located and arrested by the Gonzales Police Department. He was booked into the Gonzales County Jail on felony theft of livestock and possession of a controlled substance charges.

Special Ranger Fields extends a thank you to the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office, Gonzales County Sheriff’s Office and Gonzales Police Department for their assistance in the case.
