Group Forms To Stop Cattle Thieves in Gallia County
In Gallia County a vigilante group of 10 farmers announced readiness to be deputized and aid Sheriff Ehman in hunting cattle thieves. They will check vehicles and cattle buyers, aim to halt thieves by force if needed, and have raised a $200 reward with Emerson Evans doubling it to that total. The effort follows five arrests, about 25 head stolen, and FBI interest.
