ARGOS — Hal and Jeanne Sullivan are like most families that own small farms.
They work every day, don’t take vacations and live a modest lifestyle.
So when they lost an estimated $80,000 in cattle, it was almost too much to handle.
“My daughter is at Purdue University,” said Hal. “All her life, that was her dream. All I can say is thank God for scholarships because he almost took her dream away.”
Sullivan said that he’s talking about Joe Miller.
Miller is accused of stealing cattle from Sullivan and the Topeka Sale Barn in LaGrange County.
