It sounds like a tale from the Old West, but it happened in modern day Wyoming: A retired U.S. Forest Service officer has been sentenced for rustling government horses and mules — and, allegedly, lots of ammo, too — in an old-fashioned switcheroo.

Court records show Ronald Ostrom, 54, of Powell, Wyoming, was convicted in November by a federal jury after evidence showed he switched out two horses in 2021 that belonged to the U.S. Forest Service — Reo and Roany — with a couple of his own that he had purchased a few years earlier. He was meant to return them, but never did, prosecutors said.
