Houston cops adopting
arsenal of new weapons
United Press International
HOUSTON — The police de
partment is trying to change its
image by adapting an arsenal of
non-lethal weapons including a
sidearm that shoots a dart cap
able of neutralizing a suspect
with an electric charge.
“Houston once was the kind
of town where you didn’t dare
say anything wrong to a police
officer,” Sgt. J.H. Olszewski

said. “But today we are more
concerned with what the public
wants. We probably are becom
ing one of the more innovative
police departments in looking
into alternative weapons.”
The department already has
adopted capture nets, leg grab
bers and a variety of chemical
gasses.
City council also has autho
rized purchase of the TASER, a
9-inch, 1.5-pound hybrid of a
pistol, dart-gun and flashlight
that delivers a low-amp, 50,000-
volt charge capable of bringing a
suspect to his knees.
The TASER works by firing
two darts, each trailing a wire,
into a suspect. The wires then
conduct the charge into the sus
pect’s nervous system, incapaci
tating him “usually long enough
to put the handcuffs on,” says
SWAT team Sgt. J.C. Linney.

MARFA — Lights that zoom
about at dusk near this south
west Texas town have raised a
lot of questions, but no one
seems to be able to come up with
any answers.
Some scientists say they
might be car headlights that
have traveled some distance
through a phenomenon known
as “atmospheric tunneling.”
But the lights were seen by
cowboys 100 years ago.
Observers report the lights
whiz around at high speed and
become brighter and dimmer.
They are seen year-round.
Another theory is that the
lights are reflections from mica
deposits, but proponents of that
theory have yet to explain why
those reflections move about.
Yet another theory is that the
lights are small discharges of sta
tic electricity, but no one knows
why that would occur near Mar
fa and not in any other location.
Julia Plumbley, whose father
saw the lights 99 years ago when
he was a cowpuncher on the
Trans-Pecos Trail, said the
lights are usually dim and
ethereal.
Two geologists who in 1969
spent several months surveying
uranium deposits around Marfa
said they once came within ab
out 100 feet of the lights.
His companion,
Wright, told him to run
“I said, ‘Seeing howl
thing could go, wecan'tnitj
