State Attorney Janet Reno said Officer Luis Alvarez, 32, was expected to surrender to au thorities later Thursday and would be released on his own recognizance after being booked. “I think the grand jury acted correctly,” Reno said. “He will be prosecuted.” The indictment, handed down Wednesday night, was un sealed by Circuit Judge Gerald Wetherington. The 18-member grand jury began its investigation Tuesday into the shooting of Nevell John son, 20, a courier who was shot at a video game room Dec. 28. The shooting triggered a three-day rampage in Overtown in which police shot and killed another black man, and 26 peo ple were injured and more than a dozen businesses were dam aged. After the shooting, Alvarez was suspended with pay. He re fused to give a statement to homicide detectives on the advice of his attorney. City Manager Howard Gary said Alvarez and his rookie part ner, Louis Cruz, left their assigned patrol in a predomi nantly Latin neighborhood and went to the game room without official permission. Police said Johnson was car rying a stolen gun but there was no official explanation on how he got the weapon or why he was carrying it the night he was shot. The investigation by the Dade County state attorney’s office was one of seven city, state and federal investigations into John son’s death. Death threats forced deal — DeLorean drug United Press International LOS ANGELES — Flam boyant automaker John DeLo rean charges he was lured into a drug “sting” operation by gov ernment manipulations and was threatened with death to himself and his children if he backed out of the deal. The former General Motors’ boy wonder broke a four-month silence since his arrest on drug charges with an interview in Rolling Stone magazine to be published Feb. 28. DeLorean, 58, said he once tried to pull out of the cocaine deal.designed to save his gleam ing, stainless steel, gull-wing sports car, but death threats were made by convicted cocaine smuggler James Hoffman. % Hoffman, 41, has been iden tified as the government’s infor mer in the case against DeLo rean, William Hetrick, 51, and Stephen Arrington, 34. “You know all the players,” Hoffman reportedly told DeLo rean. “You know the bank. You know this and that. You (profan ity) around, and your kids are going to get killed. It’s going to be a bloody mess.” DeLorean told Rolling Stone writer Aaron Latham during the six-hour interview at his New Jersey estate that he is still af raid for his life. In the Rolling Stone inter view, DeLorean claimed that the FBI bugged his attorney’s tele phone. He said a bug had been found in a conference room.
