Officials with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office say they have discontinued an investigation into the theft of more than 30 head of cattle from the Montgomery County Sale Barn. The move comes at the request of the Sale Barn owners, who told authorities a person who shall remain nameless, came forward admitted to the theft of 34 head of cattle.

The incident took place during the early morning hours of January 7th. The Sale Barn owners asked authorities to close the investigation, saying the matter instead will be handled internally, and that no charges would be pursued.
