Breed thousands from their
homes.
No injuries were reported on
e island 112 miles south of
lokyo.
The eruption and earth-
liakes started Monday. The
ardest hit area on the 21 square
ile island was the village of
ko. Smoke and ash from the
ilcano rose 30,000 feet into the

ost of the town’s 500 homes,
treing 1,300 residents into has-
iy constructed public shelters.
T he lava still was flowing late
Tuesday and Ako was without
electricity, water and gas sup
plies.
“They are still unable to re
turn home tonight because hot
lava is still flowing into their vil
lage,” an island official said of
the homeless.
He said residents also were
frightened by the continuing
earthejuakes that damaged sev
eral homes.
T he Japanese Meteorological
Agency said about 90 tremors,
including one with a magnitude
of 6.1 on the Richter scale, were
recorded by Tuesday evening.
Government spokesman
Masaharu Gotoda told reporters
in Tokyo that drinking water,
blankets and food were being
rushed to the island to help the
homeless.
The last time the 2,500-foot
Mt. Oyama erupted was in 1962
when 32 people were injured.
“Volcanic activities seemed to
have subsided somehow but re
sidents are still on the alert and
frightened by intermittent ear
thquakes,” one island official

Due process violated;
Texas sheriff indicted
United Press International
WASHINGTON —A former
Texas sheriff and four others
were indicted on charges of con
spiring to falsely arrest motorists
based on a profile that included
blacks and “hippies,” and take
money from them, it was dis
closed Tuesday.
The indictment, returned in
U.S. District Court in Houston
Monday and unsealed Tuesday,
named as defendants the for
mer San Jacinto County sheriff,
James Parker; his son, Gary, a
former reserve deputy sheriff;
Robert Robert Rice, a former
deputy sheriff; and bail bonds
men James Browder and Herb
Atwood.
All five defendants were
charged with conspiring be
tween January 1981 and June
1982 to violate the constitutional
rights of motorists who are not
to be deprived of liberty or
property without due process of
law.
The indictment said the de
fendants allegedly selected vehi
cles to stop on Highway 59 based
on a profile that included blacks,
“hippies,” and vehicles with “K-
101” radio station bumper stick
ers or Louisiana license plates
with the letter “G”.
A Justice Department
spokesman said the radio station
is a rock station and the letter
“G” refers to vehicles from the
Shreveport, La., area.
The government charged the
officers searched the vehicles
and their passengers and dam
aged the vehicles to create false
evidence to justify the stops. It
alleged the defendants some
times conducted strip searches
of both men and women.
The indictment charged the
occupants of the vehicles were
arrested and taken to jail in Gol
dspring, Texas, where they were
required to pay a fee to obtain
their release.
It said the defendants
allegedly divided the fees
among themselves and confis
cated drugs, guns and other
property taken from the vehicle.
The Parkers were charged in
six other counts with making
false reports of the arrests of
three men and submitting those
reports to the FBI.
The conspiracy charges carry
a penalty of 10 years in prison
and the forgery of public record
charges carry a 10-year prison
term and a $1,000 fine.
