TITUS COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) – A Titus County man was arrested Saturday in relation to a June robbery at a hunting camp.

Troy Lynn Blackwell, 50, was arrested at his home on CR 1905 in Titus County after a warrant was obtained for a June 11 hunting camp robbery. According to a Facebook post by the Titus County Sheriff’s Office, Blackwell was one of at least two suspects in a theft that resulted in a missing Kawasaki ATV, multiple guns, archery equipment, hunting apparel, and an outdoor grill. Another ATV was believed to have been used in the robbery.

The post said investigators with the county worked to develop leads in the case, and eventually an individual came forward with information that lead to the recovery of almost all of the stolen items. The information also lead to the warrant for Blackwell’s arrest.

Blackwell was arrested Saturday and booked into the Titus County Jail on charges of burglary of a building, theft of a firearm, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. His bonds total $40,000.

National park officials are planning to gather and reduce the bison herd in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, rehoming the animals to a number of Native American tribes.

The “bison capture” is scheduled to start on Saturday and continue through the week in the park’s South Unit near Medora. The operation will be closed to the public for safety reasons.

Bison removed from the park will be rehomed and come under tribal management, InterTribal Buffalo Council Executive Director Troy Heinert told The Associated Press.

The bison will provide genetic diversity and increase numbers of existing tribal herds, he said. The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will receive bison; more bison could go to other tribes, depending on demographics, said Heinert, who is Sicangu Lakota.
