Law enforcement agents traveled to a rural and sparsely populated West Texas county Friday to arrest the county judge, a former sheriff’s deputy and two ranch hands for cattle rustling.
Loving County Judge Skeet Jones, 71, faces three felony counts of livestock theft and one count of engaging in criminal activity, allegedly gathering and selling stray cattle, according to authorities.
Loving County is the nation’s least populated county with just 64 residents, according to the 2020 Census.
The county judge, an elected official, is essentially a county commissioner, holding the top legislative responsibilities in the county.
