A former contestant on the Ultimate Cowboy Showdown has been sentenced to over a decade behind bars for savagely beating an elderly man to a pulp.
Ethan Treadwell, 43, was handed a sentence of 10 years in state prison with a further 15 years suspended for a brutal attack on William ‘Junior’ Hicks, 74, in January 2024.
Prosecutors said Treadwell flew into a violent frenzy when Hicks confronted him outside his cattle farm in Hobart, Oklahoma, about money that was owed to him.
