EAGLE POINT, Ore. -- A man on a horse chased down and lassoed a suspected thief at the Eagle Point Walmart, according to witnesses.

Police say that a woman was yelling about her bike being stolen and a nearby man unloaded a horse from a trailer, lassoed the man and pulled him back toward the store. They say that the man grabbed onto a tree and wouldn't let go.

Eagle Point Police arrived on scene and arrested the man, identified as 22-year-old Victorino Arellano-Sanchez.

I love it! The bike thief will never live this down in the Hood Community. Roped like a crippled steer! How humiliating,
and he’s surrounded by all these amused women who have likely already filmed the entire event to play it back for their families.

A rope and a tree. In the old days, that would have been the end of the story. But from the picture, the tree seems to be a few years short of the job.

Another DREAMer dreaming of an America where he could steal bicycles without getting lassoed by cowboys.

Funny...he just happened to have his horse and rope handy. Something the horseman probably dreamed of doing since he was young.

[Typelouder]

Now he just needs branded with a hot iron. A nice Walmart smiley face right on his cheek!

Funny...As well as a readily SADDLED horse in his trailer.
He must be one fast cow-hand to unload, saddle and trace down the perp who was riding away on a bicycle.

LOL. Love the guy hanging onto the tree...all lassoed-up.
