· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
In Starr County, Arthur Frederick Flores has been charged with illegally appropriating cattle from the Gutiérrez estate without the owners' consent. The investigation began on February 12, 2026, after estate managers reported unauthorized access to the ranch. Witnesses observed riders and vehicles on the property, and surveillance cameras captured the intrusion. A group of cowboys was allegedly hired to capture cattle that Flores claimed were his. Between October 2025 and January 2026, 11 cattle were sold at an Edinburg auction, generating over $21,000. Flores reportedly received more than $14,000 from these sales. A judge has issued an arrest warrant for him, and the investigation is ongoing regarding another individual involved in the case.
