✨Operation Gold Rush✨

The scammers got scammed this time!

This week, the TPSO teamed up with a Texas Sheriff's Office to shut down a gold scammer targeting elderly victims with a taste of his own medicine.

The suspect showed up to collect a gold deposit, but ended up only dropping a 💩brown💩 one of his own when he was surrounded by TPSO and our friends at the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office 🤝

Please join me in offering condolences following the this morning’s passing of Rick “Ragin’ Cajun’” Young.

Rick, a popular rodeo clown and bull fighter from Tickfaw, was well known for his antics in and out of the arena and he will be sorely missed.
