Seems to have gotten himself on the other side of the law…..

Weird charges. Did he falsify ownership of a timber stand and have it harvested?

If he did wrong, I have no problem with the arrest.

However, I have a list about 1000 people long of politicians, thieves, drunk drivers, etc etc who I want prosecuted before someone who shaded his loan app

exactly. banks have to do their due diligence and perform a risk assessment before handing out money. banks know there is motivation for people to not be completely honest with them about their assets, liabilities, and cash flow. you don't usually see people charged with 3rd degree felonies though ...so if this guy is being charged, I'm guessing it's probably pretty egregious. statements for his loan app may be tied to / related to a crime he's accused of, hence more charges added. perhaps he harvested timber that wasn't his and then told the bank he had all this timber property.

Now add being an A hole.

He's the one whose wife drowned.

A guy I knew in high school went to federal prison for a similar, but way more elaborate scheme and it was a real shame, because his original intent was a desperate move to save the family farm.

His father passed away not too long ago, as well. Went fishing by himself, had a medical incident and fell out of the boat. They found him face down in the water, I believe.

Of all the officers on that program, that guy didn't seem to fit the mold (or the clothes). On a show where most of them were by the book, he seemed to be too much of a good ol' boy. I just assumed it was an East Texas thing.

Their entire family is very much good ole boy. His brother, also a game warden but refused to go on the show, was always nice to me. Same with their dad. However, I was never involved with them more than sharing a lease and a number of camp fires.

He was arrested and few months ago. These are additional charges related to the original charges. Justin's lawyer said this was all a big misunderstanding after the first arrest. Starting to question that after they added more charges, but I guess we'll find out.

Looks more like he's been harvesting ice cream and gravy.

Gotta be some good evidence and crooked banker work to get this done in East Texas! Im betting there will be more to come out over time…….
