Deer feeder theft suspect arrested

I’m happy to report that we justed arrested Michael Hetzel, 50, of Vidor, for taking a deer feeder that didn’t belong to him on one of our hunting leases in south Jasper County. We went to his job and put handcuffs on him. He’s on his way to jail now. We charged him with theft and criminal trespass.

Although he committed this theft in a mask and under the cover of darkness, it didn’t take us but a few minutes to identify him. Thank you to the citizens of Jasper County for all of your help. When people steal from us, no matter how big or how small, we will work hard and do our very best to arrest people and recover their property.

Thank you to our JCSO investigators for their hard work! You don’t want our crew looking for you.

(He’s innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law).

Jasper County Sheriff Chuck Havard
