The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control has announced the arrest of Jordan R. Leisgang, 27, of Seymour, Wisconsin. Leisgang was apprehended on July 25, 2024, for receiving stolen property following an investigation by the Rural Crimes Unit of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. The Howell County Sheriff’s Office, Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office (Wisconsin), and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Justice collaborated on the investigation.
In November 2023, the Howell County Sheriff’s Office sought assistance from the Rural Crimes Unit of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control regarding an alleged livestock theft in their county. A Howell County resident reported that in August 2023, he facilitated the purchase and transportation of 450 head of cattle from a Salem, Arkansas sale barn for Jordan R. Leisgang of Seymour, Wisconsin. According to the victim, after the cattle were delivered to Wisconsin, Leisgang refused to issue payment and ceased communication.
On July 17, 2024, a Howell County Grand Jury indicted Leisgang for receiving stolen property in connection with the cattle theft investigation. Wisconsin authorities arrested Leisgang on July 25, 2024, for the Howell County arrest warrant resulting from the Grand Jury indictment. Leisgang is currently awaiting extradition to Missouri, where he faces a $100,000 bond.
