NE man pleads guilty to cattle scheme in MO
A south-central Nebraska man has pleaded guilty to a cattle scheme in central Missouri. Allen Foos of Smithfield, Nebraska entered his plea in federal court Tuesday in the Western District of Missouri to transporting stolen livestock across state lines. The court says Foos admitted using the alias of a buyer, a middleman, to order cattle from the Callaway Livestock Center in April 2011, then sold the cattle after receiving them without paying the sale barn. The government says losses in the scheme exceeded $200-thousand.
Foos faces up to five years in federal prison without parole –as much as $250-thousand in fines – plus – restitution. He faces sentencing later.
