Pot confiscated
CRANE, Texas — Authorities
Monday were holding a 27-year-
old man in lieu of $100,000 bond
in the seizure of 2,500 pounds of
marijuana.
The Crane County sheriffs
office received a tip Sunday that a
cargo of marijuana was being un
loaded, and deputies from three
counties converged on the area
just before dawn, said deputy Jeff
Torgeson.
Torgeson said officers stopped a
pickup truck with a camper
attached, and found 45 bales of pot
inside. They arrested the truck
driver, Stephen H. Hoyt of Odes
sa, on investigation of marijuana
possession.
Lewis. “But we re sure the victims
were not involved.”
Lewis said officers were
“thumbing through the possibili
ties ’ in trying to identify the trio
—- two men in surgical suits and a
woman in a nurse’s uniform —
who forced a hospital pharmacist
to give them the keys to a locker
where the day’s supply of drugs
was kept.
The bandits entered the phar
macy about 4 a.m. Monday, and
one told pharmacist Hugh Brooks
he had a gun under his surgical
gown, then struck him in the face
until he surrendered the keys.
The trio then forced Brooks and
an assistant, Reggie Boyd, to lie on
the floor while they took a supply
of the common tranquilizer
Valium, plus 480 tablets of the
painkiller Dilaudid and 100 of the
painkiller Demerol.
Meanwhile, Virginia Williams,
39, walked up to the service win
dow with a prescription to fill, and
was told to wait in the lobby by
one of the robbers.
“He asked me if he could help
me, ” she said. “I didn’t know they
were robbers until the pharmacist
said he couldn’t find my prescrip
tion. I guess (the robbers) took it. ”
Officers said the bandits did not
raid a larger vault where the hos
pital’s drug reserve is kept.
“Only a handful of hospital offi
cials know how to get into that
room,” said hospital spokesman
Greg Graze.
Pilot survives plane crash
United Press International
HOUSTON — Shirley Graves was as confident
Monday night the Lord would heal her husband
of injuries he suffered in a weekend plane crash,
as she was Sunday that the Lord would cause him
to be rescued.
“I think the Lord was with him (after the
crash), and I think the Lord is going to heal him, ”
she said Monday night.
William Graves, 38, had been missing since
Saturday around 8 p.m. when his home-made
stunt plane crashed into a sand pit four miles
south of Interstate 10 near Baytown. He was
found Sunday morning and brought by helicopter
to Hermann Hospital in Houston where he re
mained in serious, but stable condition Monday
night.
Surgeons performed surgery on a fractured
lumbar vertebrate and plan to operate on his face
later.
Graves told investigators he had lost fuel press
ure before crashing Saturday about 8 p.m.
“He smelled fuel dripping and was afraid thal
there would be fire,” Mrs. Graves said. “Solie
released his seat belt and crawled as far as le
could — about 10 feet from the cockpit nean
wing.”
His plane did not catch on fire.
Federal Aviation Administration officials sail
the impact of the crash buckled the plane’s lanl-
ing gear. The plane skidded 25 yards afteritlii
and then flipped over, said FAA inspector Bemic
Mullins.

local flight.
