OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa are prosecuting three Omaha residents they suspect of cattle rustling.
Ervin John Jacob, James Michael Brunzo and Amy Louise Springer are accused of slipping into feedlots at night and hauling off steers and cows to sell at sale barns and livestock auctions.
The three are charged with cattle thefts in Cass County, Iowa, and Cuming County, Nebraska. The 57-year-old Jacob and 42-year-old Springer also face charges in Nebraska’s York County.
Jacob and Springer have already pleaded guilty in some of the cases but face additional charges. The 49-year-old Brunzo is charged with theft in Cuming County and Iowa’s Cass County.
