A Mississippi man is accused of stealing six head of cattle from a Tangipahoa Parish livestock sale barn.
23 YO Colson K. Lambert of Bogue Chitto, Ms., was arrested by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF). Lambert is charged with six counts of theft of livestock. LDAF received a complaint from a public livestock market in Tangipahoa Parish that someone illegally removed cattle from the livestock market and took them out of state. Following an investigation, it was determined Lambert was allegedly in possession of the cattle. Investigators were able to link Lambert to the theft through video from security cameras.
All six head of cattle were recovered by LDAF brand inspectors and have been returned to the sale barn.
