Mexico Jurors deliberated less than three hours Tuesday before finding the one-time East Texas Lawman of the Year innocent on civil rights charges. “It’s been a tough battle but with God on your side you’ve got to he a winner,” Hardy said in a telephone interview. Hardy’s troubles began in 1979, when an eight-month drug investigation that netted 97 arrests was tarnished by alle gations the two principal under cover officers — Creig Matthews and Kim Ramsey — were setting up people for prosecution. Matthews and Ramsey, who have since married, subsequent ly admitted framing nightclub owner Kenneth Bora and plant ing drugs on suspects. Matthews said he took drugs himself. Charges against most of the de fendants have been dropped. Last November, Hardy, Tyl er’s first undercover narcotics agent, was indicted on civil rights charges, claiming he co vered up for the two agents. Hardy said he offered to “do anything I could to avoid an in dictment,” including taking a polygraph examination at his own expense, “but they insisted on going the trial route.” Hardy said defending himself on the charges has cost him $50,000 in straight cash. “Then there are things you can’t put a dollar amount on: the pressure and the damage to the family, anxiety and emotional stress. “I have three boys — ages 17, 8, and 7. They took it kind of like you expect children to,” he said. “It hurts when a second grader cries himself to sleep or comes home from school crying be cause someone’s told him his daddy’s going to prison.” Hardy, who was police chief when he was indicted, said he traded jobs with assistant chief Leo Britton for the duration of the trial. Mayor Robert Nall in dicated Tuesday he would press for Hardy’s reinstatement as chief.
