“Lawmen came to remote Loving County, Texas, on Friday to arrest the county judge, a former sheriff’s deputy and two ranch hands on one of Texas’ oldest crimes — cattle theft,” NBC News reported on Saturday, May 21, 2022 (story here).
“Judge Skeet Jones, 71, the top elected official … in the least populated county in the continental United States, is facing three felony counts of livestock theft and one count of engaging in criminal activity,” NBC News said, adding, “Authorities also arrested former Loving County deputy Leroy Medlin Jr., 35, on one count of engaging in criminal activity. … Two ranch hands also were arrested on Friday. ”
“You can’t make this shit up,” a local lawyer said. Now the question is, will they get Texas justice?
