That’s according to Lander Police Department Chief Kelly Waugh, who told Cowboy State Daily on Friday that he went to thank the man after the incident, and learned he was a champion roper. The incident started in the All Nations trailer park on the north end of Riverton. There, the roper’s grandmother needed medical care, and someone called an ambulance. Lander Police Department Officer Casey Tadewald was working in Riverton that night as part of a multi-agency DUI task force, Waugh noted.
