LUBBOCK — \ series of 26
armed robberies of businesses in
just over a month has triggered
police into stationing shotgun
squads at selected sites.
Lubbock Police Chief Tho
mas Nichols would not outline
how many officers were in
volved. Public affairs officer Bill
Morgan said policemen are
being stationed out °f sight at
1 businesses that are likely targets
I for a robbery.
1 Anyone trying to rob a busi
ness runs the the risk of encoun
tering a shotgun squad “ready to
take him on,” Morgan said.
The shotgun squads were last
used was after a series of robber
ies in January, but officials said
they didn’t know whether the
squads or a rash of heavy snow
stopped those robberies.
“Drastic problems require
drastic measures to resolve
them,” Nichols said.
The teams are made up from
officers from the traffic accident
and detective divisions rather

The men on the squads real

Nichols said, but the teams are
ready to use their guns against
robbers.
Morgan said shotgun squads
had been used in the 1960s, but
this is only the second time since
then that they had been de
ployed. He said the squads
formed in January encountered
no confrontations.
Television
reporter
finds body
United Press International
CORPUS CHR1ST1 — A tele
vision reporter preparing a fea
ture on transients found a homi
cide victim’s body Thursday in
an abandoned downtown house.
Karen Boudrieu of KZTV
told police she was looking
through the front door of the
house, which is frequented by
transients, and spotted the body
lying in a pool of blood.
Police Lt. Rodney Hohle
identified the victim as John
McDonnell, 58, believed to be
from Massachusetts.
McDonnell died from a blow
to the head, police said.
Police searched the house
and found a man in his 20s hid
ing in the attic, but Hohle said
“at this point there doesn’t
appear to be any connection.”
Attorney Allen Yafe, whose
ofHffe is across the street from
the vacant house, said another
body was found there a year ago.
The house had been used as a
meeting place of Alcoholics
Anonymous as recently as two
years ago, Yafe said.

Drug charges dropped
Representative cleared
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Six-term
Rep. Charles Wilson, D-Texas,
was cleared of cocaine use on
Capitol Hill Thursday by the
OT
TH
MSC NOVEMBER
SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY
House Ethics Committee, but he
refused to answer questions ab
out an allegation he used
cocaine in the Cayman Islands.
The House panel cleared
Wilson, 50, and Rep. Donald
Dellums, D-Calif., of using
drugs in their official capacities
but found “substantial evi
dence” of drug use by three for
mer congressmen and among
congressional employees.
But Wilson appeared sur
prised when a reporter told him
the report revealed that he re
fused to answer a question dur
ing an Oct. 3 deposition.
“That must have been a ques
tion my lawyer told me was out
side the scope of what they were
taking,” he said. “I can’t possibly
answer every question that was
raised.”
The Justice Department said
in July it found insufficient evi
dence to warrant prosecution of
Wilson.
The House committee said
Wilson refused to talk about the
' Cayman Islands charges made
by Elizabeth Wickersham, a for
mer model who is now an Atlan
ta cable television talk show host.
Wickersham told the commit
tee she took a picture, which she
no longer has, of him using
cocaine while they were alone
during a 1980 summer vacation
Wilson has vigorously
denied the cocaine
allegations for nearly
a year and has blamed
them on former
friend Paul Brown.

because “he just looked silly and
it was quite unusual to see a con
gressman do that.”
When asked whether his re
fusal to talk about the allegation
might leave doubt in the minds
of some of his constituents, Wil
son told UPI:
“I guess the whole thing does,
darling, and you can just write it
like that.”
The report said Wilson would
not answer questions about the
possible drug use “in what he
characterized as a ‘purely pri
vate setting’ unrelated to all
aspects to his official duties as a
member of the House of Repre
sentatives” unless the committee
directed him to do so.
