An Eagle Point rancher lassoed an alleged bike thief this morning in the parking lot of the Eagle Point Walmart.
Robert Borba, 28, said he was at Walmart with a trailer loaded with his horse to pick up some dog food when he heard a woman screaming that someone was trying to steal her bicycle.
"I seen this fella trying to get up to speed on a bicycle," Borba said. "I wasn't going to catch him on foot. I just don't run very fast."
Borba said he quickly brought the horse out of the trailer, grabbed his rope and let it fly, lassoing the thief and bike and bringing both to the ground.
"I use a rope every day, that's how I make my living," Borba said. "If it catches cattle pretty good, it catches a bandit pretty good."
"We've never had anyone lassoed and held until we got there," May said. "That's a first for me."
Police arrested Victorino Arellano-Sanchez, whom they described as a transient from the Seattle area, on a theft charge.

Our jail doesn't tell you any more if they are aliens...but the anchor babies are more dangerous.

Yeah, I’m sure he’s from Seattle.........
Is there a Seattle, Mexico?
I wonder why they stuck the article in ‘chat’??
Just another typical day 800 miles north of the Mexican border. It’s a ‘Latino’ gang knifing, shooting, rape, drive by...every day! Look how many of them in the local jail. Small governments can’t keep up with it, yet we are a sanctuary city....

“Is there a Seattle, Mexico?”
Yes, and it’s cold, rainy, and people drink five gallons of coffee a day!
I absolutely loved it. Loved it all, pic, the cowboy, all of it.
Did I mention that I loved it?
That’s what we call “Getting Western” here in the rural West.
I’m sure that the horse had a good time too.
Hello AuntB. Old JR finally let me back in the playground.
Good story. Hope it was a painful experience for the POS thief.
“Did I mention that I loved it?”
Yeah, I did too1 I can just see him bringing the guy down then tying one arm and his two legs together then throwing up his arm to stop the clock!
That’s a great story. Good to see still have some cowboys left.
Great story - made me smile!
hooey!
He should branded him on his rear end “POS” while he had him roped and hogtied.
Get a long little doggie?
