The mother of the former Southern Arkansas University (SAU) student accused of stealing horses belonging to members of the school’s collegiate rodeo team is facing criminal charges for allegedly planning the thefts in order to sell the animals for profit.

In November five Quarter Horses belonging to members of the SAU collegiate rodeo team were taken from the university’s Mulerider Stables on the school’s Magnolia, Ark., campus. A horse trailer and a variety of equestrian equipment also taken from the stables were recovered shortly after the incident. Four of the missing horses and the remains of the fifth horse were later recovered in McCurtain County, Okla.

In December, Arkansas State Police arrested Jaci Jackson and charged her with six counts felony theft of property in Arkansas, and three felony charges in Oklahoma in connection with the thefts. Jackson has pleaded not guilty to the Arkansas felony charges.

In June, Jackson’s mother Wendi Cox, surrendered to McCurtain County, Okla., law enforcement authorities who charged her with cruelty to animals and knowingly concealing stolen property in connection with the death of a 15-year-old gelding, Credit Card, whose mutilated and dismembered remains were discovered by McCurtain County law enforcement personnel shortly after the theft. William "Billy" Hamilton, Jr., has also been charged in that case
