Police impersonators rob 2
vtoi
By BECKY SWANSON
City Staff
Two men who posed as Bryan
police officers and robbed persons at
two separate residences in Bryan
Sunday morning are still being
sought by police.
At about 6 a.m. Sunday, two men
wearing suits and carrying pistols en
tered the home of Laura Hooks at
1200 Ridgedale, Apt. 52, after show
ing her 9-year-old son a badge.
Once inside, the two men said
they were police officers investigat
ing a report of marijuana dealing at
the residence.
Hooks said her nephew, Avilado
Garza, was staying overnight with
her children while she was at work.
The men asked Garza for identifica
tion and he gave them his wallet.
One of the men took the wallet
into the bedroom, saying he was
going to check Garza’s identification
with a walkie-talkie he was carrying.
The man gave the wallet back and
Garza said he did not realize until
after the men had left that his money
was missing.
Police said about $75 was taken.
Hooks said she came home from
Thespians to
present play
By ANGELIQUE COPELAND
Campus Staff
The Aggie Players will present
their production of “Marlin the Mag
nificent” Thursday and Friday at 8
p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. in the
Rudder Center Forum.
The story centers around a magi
cian who breaks his magic wand,
sending his sorcerous exploits awry.
Chuck McDaniel, director of the
all-student production, said the play
has all the elements that make it a
“fantasy for the whole family.”
Besides the magician, (Tom Stim-
son), there is the traditional beautiful
princess, Jill Moore; the required
evil queen, Mary-Alice Helman; and
her henchmen, Jorge Del Angel and
Terry Martin.
Other members of the cast include
Marlin’s helper, Leslie Stevens; pix
ie, Dawn Tengg and the queen’s
nephew, Mike Steege.
The show is produced by Sid Cat
lett with technical director Bruce
Monroe.
“We decided to do a show parents
could bring their kids to,” McDaniel
said. “The Theater Arts department
hasn’t done that kind of show all year
and we decided to fill that gap. ”
McDaniel said that the'idea of a
Saturday matinee was also designed
to bring in the younger crowd.
“There hasn’t been a Saturday
matinee since I’ve been here,” said
McDaniel, a graduate student in En
glish.
“Saturday night is usually when
the parents want to go out by them
selves, and with the show in the
afternoon, they can bring the kids to
see it and still have the evening for
themselvs.”
But the show isn’t just for chil
dren, McDaniel said, it has apppeal
for parents and college students on
down. “It’s just a positive experi
ence.”
Admission is $1 for children, $1.50
for students and $2 for adults.

work while the men were still at the
house.
“They told me that they were look
ing for marijuana and I should stay in
the room with the kids,” Hooks said.
“They had on suits, but they had
guns. One of them got out his badge
and showed it to me.
“They told me that they were pri
vate detectives. They went through
all the closets and looked under the
mattresses,” she said.
A similar incident occurred at 8:15
a.m. Sunday when two men
appeared at the residence of Juventi-
no Paco, 905A Florida St., and pre
sented a badge, identifying them
selves as police officers, Bryan police
said.
The men entered the residence
and told Paco they were there to
check for marijuana.
Paco said he told the men he did
not have any marijuana and one of
them pulled out a .38-caliber revol
ver and threatened to shoot if he did
not turn around and put his hands on
the couch, police said.
Paco told police that the men took
his money and some money from
Antonio Mejro, who was also at the
residence, then ran from the house.
About $90 was taken.
One of the suspects being sought
is described as a 25-year-old black
man, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, 160
pounds, with a short afro and light'
complexion.
The other is a 6-foot, 20- to 25-
year-old black male, 210 pounds
with a dark complexion and a
medium-length afro.
Bryan police lieutenant in charge
of detectives, Bobby Riggs, said they
have no suspects in the case.
Riggs said their police officers
have badges with “Bryan Police” on
them and carry identification cards.
