Drug dealer testifies
against county sheriff
United Press International
TYLER — A Grayson County
drug dealer testified Tuesday
that on several occasions Fannin
County Sheriff Raymond Taylor
delivered drugs and marijuana to
his home and assured him his il
legal trade was being protected
from authorities.
Jerry Gray of Denison, tes
tified in Taylor’s trial on federal
charges ranging from racketeer
ing to soliciting and accepting
protection money from narcotics
dealers, gamblers and pimps.
Gray testified he was in narco
tics trafficking with convicted
drug dealer and former car
dealer Jerry Sewell, who tes
tified Monday as the first prose
cution witness in the trial.
Gray said Taylor brought
marijuana to his home that was
still green with stalks and said “it
came from an earlier bust.”
Gray’s girlfriend, Terri Hayes
of Denison, supported Gray’s
testimony, saying Taylor once
delivered a bottle of the illegal
drug Dilaurdid to the home
while driving his sheriff s car and
wearing his uniform.
She said Taylor said he would
“be able to get more of the drug
later.”
Gray said he and Sewell did
business until Gray was found
guilty on a drug charge.
“Terry Sewell told me we
could operate in the county be
cause of an amount of money he
was paying the sheriff,” Gray tes
tified.
Sewell already has testified
Taylor told him and other drug
dealers he would “help us out
by allowing them to sell narcotics
in Fannin County in exchange
for cash. Sewell, who was con
victed of selling heroin in Paris,
Texas, and sentenced to 10
years, said the sheriff received
$600 per month for protection.
Gray was later arrested in
Fannin County on a drug charge
but told Assistant U.S. Attomej
Jeff Baynhan that Taylor did not
participate in the arrest.
“He was out of town at the
time,” Gray said.
He said Taylor visited him it
county jail and told him “even 1
thing is going to be all right."
Baynhan also questioned Graf
about gambling in Fannis
County. Gray said Taylor had
once given him permission to set
up a dice game.
The prosecution called several
witnesses during the second dai;
but many refused to testift
against Taylor until they had
been granted immunity froma
variety of other charges filed it
other courts.
The jury was sent out of the
courtroom during negotiation!
for immunity, but Baynhan ini
cated no grants of immunih
were made immediately

The allegations involve funds
from a $65,000 grant by the Texas
Department of Human Resources to
the Human Enrichment of Life Pro
gram (HELP), an agency estab
lished to facilitate delivery of anti
poverty programs to black com
munities.
The investigation centers on
complaints that some of the money
may have paid the salaries of certain
people and for use of equipment for
Hall’s losing campaign.
A Harris County grand jury began
an investigation into the allegations.
“I understand these allegations
were made to the district attorney’s
office some two months ago, Hall
said. “I suppose at the time it was
done for political reasons. The dis-

OWNING a townhome
VS.
RENTING an apartment
Owning a townhome is a clever
investment rather than an expense.
Besides the obvious convenience of a
maintenance free lifestyle, you have the
tax advantages of home ownership.
Townhomes by Building Crafts, Inc. also
offer energy saving heat pumps, built-
ins, cable TV, and much, much more.
Located on Carter Creek Parkway, these
townhomes are only one mile from the
campus.
2 bedroom townhomes from $29,500.
