Shootout held self defense
United Press International
SIERRA BLANCA — De
fense attorneys Thursday said
former Hudspeth County Com
missioner L. Talley Davis acted
in self defense when he shot oil-
worker David Copeland in an
argument over his girlfriend’s
bar stool.
Davis, who resigned earlier
this month, is charged with
attempted murder in the Dec. 8,
1982 shooting at Dell City, a
small farming community near
the New Mexico state line.
Constable Pat Shea, 42, told
the jury Wednesday he saw a
shiny pistol in the back seat of a
patrol car about 13 hours after
Davis, 50, shot Copeland, 43.
The former commissioner
testified he shot Copeland only
in self defense in a gun battle on
a lonely two-lane highway south
of Dell City.
The dispute began, according
to testimony, when Copeland
and a companion, Paul Moore,
19, were drinking at the
Sheepherder Bar in Dell City on
Dec. 7.
Moore testified Copeland
grabbed a bar stool a few feet
from where he was standing and
sat down, not realizing the stool
had been used by Corine Magby,
45, a friend of Davis. An argu
ment followed when Davis and
his girlfriend returned from the
dance floor, Moore said, but
there was no violence.
Copeland testified he and
Moore left the bar after the inci
dent and went around the cor
ner to the Longhorn Saloon.
Davis and Magby soon joined
them, and Moore apologized
twice to the then commissioner,
according to testimony.
Both Moore and Copeland
testified they were on their way
home when they were stopped
by a pickup truck with flashing
lights.
Copeland said he got out of
the car, saw Davis raise his arm
“and the next thing I knew, I was
on the ground.”
Moore and Copeland had
been working on a flood control
project for Austin’s Trinity En
gineering Inc., taking core sam
ples from the area south of Dell
City.
Davis and Magby gave con
flicting testimony Wednesday.
Sheepherder bartender Virgi
nia Hill testified Davis had
threatened to revoke the license
of the Copeland’s drilling com
pany.
