Troopers Association president said.
“Every report we’ve had indicates
there was nothing but chaos down
there. Not only was there no agency
in charge of the overall operation, we
were completely outmanned and
outgunned from the time we ar
rived,” said Ealmer Klippel, an 18-
year patrol veteran assigned to the
H.E. Bailey Turnpike.
The three troopers, Lt. Pat
Grimes and troopers Billy G. Young
and Houston F. “Pappy” Summers,

were killed.
Most of the troopers who took part
in the manhunt were not issued bul
letproof vests or highpowered rifles,
he said.
“Any rifles they had were their
own and these people knew that
Lancaster and Dennis were heavily
armed and that Dennis was a crack
shot,” Klippel said.
Patrol officials said recently bul
letproof vests would not have helped
Grimes and Young because they
were shot in the head. Summers was
shot in the stomach and may not have
been helped by a vest either, they
said.
Klippel said the troopers still
should have had the option of wear
ing the vests.
“Not only did they not have them
(the vests), there were some of those
troopers out on roadblocks Thursday
night who couldn’t even get batteries
for their flashlights. They were just
out there in the dark,” he said.
He also said most of the troopers
assigned to the search were not
fic troopers used to hazaril)i
duties.”
“They were service personneltj
they aren’t trained or p
that kind of an operation. FortJpALL

“They were taking part in

BATON ROUGE —Truck weight
enforcement officers in a three-
parish area of west Louisiana are rid
ing with state police escorts and tak
ing firearms training to protect
themselves from intimidation by
marauders armed with pipes and
clubs, a state official said Tuesday.
“It’s almost unbelievable that in
this day and age we still have
vigilante-type people who go around
threatening people who are just try
ing to do their job,” Transportation
and Development Secretary George
Fischer said. “They’re unhappy with
the (truck weight limit) law and they
ought to come up here (to the Legis
lature) to try to change the law.”
The marauders are in the logging
industry and the Legislature already
has passed exemptions for timber
trucks, but those exemptions cannot
take effect until Sept. 12.
Fischer said troopers began riding
with the unarmed weight officers last
week after several incidents of
harassment in Allen, Sabine and
Vernon parishes.
“Since we put the state troopers
with them, we’ve had no more prob-
olj
lems,” Fischer said. _
Although threatened, nonedi f
officers was injured.

were weighing a truck.
“They were armed withcluk® 10113
pipes and told the weight oil ents ’
that they were going to get theml
they were going to run themout^
so forth,” Fischer said.
The group remained at the«|
after the officers sought
their locked cars and callethi
police. They cursed andi
obscene gestures while circtoCount
cars and one of them told theot p re ]j
that a killing could be arrangedhMpen,

United Press International
TALLAHASSEE — Cattle rustl
ing in Florida these days rivals the
Old West folk tales — but they don’t
hang the rustlers anymore.
Rustlers don’t simply cut the fence
and herd the cattle out anymore.
Modern day bands of thieves use
pickups and tractor-trailer trucks
equipped with CB radios and police
scanners to get in and out quickly.
“Cattle rustling, everybody
thinks, probably went out
horse and buggy,” state Rep,
Morgan said. He pushed a
appropriations bill througl
Florida Legislature to fight
thieves.
“It’s just more sophisticatedtl
days,” he said of the rustling
big business.”
Any increase in beef pricesff
prompt a new round of th
Florida, one of the nation’s
cattle producing states.
