WACO, TEXAS – A Waco man charged with 3 counts of third-degree felony cattle theft turned himself in to authorities at the McLennan County jail today.
Trenton Dale Saulters, 26, was charged with stealing cattle from auction barns and individuals in Erath, Gillespie, Rains and Johnson counties worth an estimated $165,000.
TSCRA Special Rangers H.D. Brittain, Max Hartmann and Marvin Wills sent out alerts Thursday notifying anyone who had information regarding Saulters whereabouts to contact the Operation Cow Thief Hotline.
