In a press release, TSCRA Executive Director of Law Enforcement Scott Williamson said that Torrey went above and beyond to support the prosecution of livestock and agriculture crimes. “I understand how cattle theft and other such crimes take a toll on the rural community,” Torrey said. “Our farmers and ranchers remain the backbone of this state. I am honored and humbled by their vote of confidence.” Torrey has served as Milam County DA since 2012.
