Bixby man arrested for livestock trailer scam

Arrested on four felony counts of obtaining cash or merchandise by bogus check or false pretenses

BIXBY, Okla. — Bobby Leonard Ryan III, 29, of Bixby was arrested May 26, 2021, on four felony counts of obtaining cash or merchandise by bogus check or false pretenses.

Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Ranger Bart Perrier, who also led the investigation, arrested Ryan Wednesday on the felony warrant issued by the District Court of Osage County, Pawhuska, Okla. Ryan allegedly took thousands of dollars from victims across several states to build custom ranch-style livestock trailers that he never produced.

Perrier initiated the investigation in the Fall of 2019 after receiving numerous complaints. The victims all separately claimed that they paid Ryan a deposit, or the full amount, for custom-made livestock trailers that were never built or delivered. The victims were also unable to obtain repayment.

As the investigation began and for some time after, Ryan continued doing business as 5R Ranch Trailers and taking orders for new trailers. Later in the investigation, he closed the business and left the Osage County area without delivering the trailers or repaying the victims. In October of 2020, the Osage County Sheriff’s Office received an additional complaint from another victim reporting similar financial losses. A felony warrant was then issued for Ryan’s arrest.

Following his arrest, Ryan was booked into the Osage County Jail and scheduled for arraignment the following day. He was subsequently released on a $20,000 bond pending trial.

Perrier and the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association would like to thank Osage County Sheriff’s Office investigator Clay Testerman and Special Ranger John Cummings for their assistance on the case.

Anyone with additional information or who believes they may have been victims of the suspected trailer scam should contact Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Ranger Bart Perrier at (918) 440-8360.
