WOLF POINT, Mont. (AP)--A Poplar, Mont., man is jailed on $250,000 bail, accused of rustling cattle.

A criminal information filed in District Court in Roosevelt County alleges Richard Holen stole 37 head of cattle in eight incidents dating back to October of last year.

The document indicates most of the cattle were stolen Sept. 4 of this year, and some allegedly were taken as recently as Oct. 6.

The 48-year-old Holen was arrested Oct. 8.

County Attorney Ryan Rusche says Holen is charged with eight counts of felony theft.

The investigation was conducted by the Montana Department of Livestock, Fort Peck Tribal Fish and Game, Bureau of Indian Affairs Land Department, Fort Peck Tribal Law and Justice and Roosevelt County sheriff's office.

The county attorney's office says it is not yet known whether Holen has an attorney.
