A Marlow man wanted in multiple counties has been charged in Caddo County recently after allegedly stealing cattle and selling them for profit.
According to court records 38-year-old Joshua Myers was charged this week with 25 counts of larceny of a domestic animal after authorities discovered $40,000 and paperwork for sold cattle during a traffic stop near Fort Cobb.
After an investigation, it was discovered that a local farmer in the area was missing the cattle and that Myers had allegedly taken the cattle to OKC West Livestock where he sold the livestock for a large profit.
The cows have since been located and returned to the farmer.
Court records show that Myers was wanted out of Caddo and Comanche counties for theft and breaking and entering in several other cases.
Bond for Myers was set at $100,000.
His next court date is scheduled for July 17.
