TSCRA News Release: Henryetta Man Arrested for Seven Counts of Cattle Theft

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Ranger_Seal
Aug. 27, 2015
Contact: Laramie Adams
Cell: 512-922-7328 
Okemah, Okla. – A Henryetta, Okla. man surrendered to authorities Wed. and was charged with seven felony counts of larceny of livestock after stealing seven calves from an Okfuskee County, Okla. rancher.
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger Bart Perrier led the investigation.
According to Perrier, the suspect, Devin Alex Longan, 19, and co-defendant, Kiley Johnson, stole the seven head of calves from the victim and transported them to the Okmulgee Livestock Auction where the stolen calves were sold.  Longan and Johnson went to the Okmulgee stockyards on the following day and retrieved the check for the sale of the calves, and the profits were divided.
Longan has formally been charged on this case and is currently being held in the Okfuskee County Jail on a $100,000 bond. Longan will return to court on Tues. Sept. 1, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. Johnson is currently being incarcerated on charges filed in Okfuskee County and is being held on a $200,000 bond on an unrelated case.
TSCRA would like to thank Detective Jeremy Wade with the Henryetta Police Department for his work and assistance during this investigation.
“This case provides an excellent example of TSCRA Special Rangers working closely with local law enforcement to investigate cattle theft cases and seek justice for ranchers who unfortunately become victims,” said Perrier.
