122 arrested in military drug bust
United Press International
EL PASO — The biggest
drug bust operation ever at Fort
Bliss has netted the arrest of 122
people and confiscation of
$111,000 worth of narcotics,
and the investigation is still not
over, military investigators
announced Wednesday.
Officials at the Criminal In
vestigation Division at Fort Bliss
said there have been a steady
stream of indictments since the
arrests began Jan. 6, and “more
are planned in the weeks ahead
as the investigation continues.”
“They were picked up for
possession, use and sale of nar
cotics,” said Lt. Col. John Hay,
CID commander at Fort Bliss,
about the 84 lower-ranked milit
ary personnel and 38 civilians
arrested.
\ Hay said possession of any
amount of narcotic substance is
a felony violation under military
law.
Specific punishment is the de
cision of the military comman
der. Hay said a first offense
usually results in a disciplinary
measure, a fine of $200 to $400
and reduction in rank.
Second offenses or incidents
involving persons selling narco
tics are dealt with more harshly.
Hay said, noting possible max
imum sentences call for up to 10
years hard labor in a military
prison, with forfeiture of all pay
and benefits and reduction in
rank.
Hay said civilians charged in
the case will be prosecuted in
civilian courts, adding that those
accused of committing crimes
on government property will be
tried in the U.S. District Court.
“The perception of some civi
lians,” said Hay, “is that they can
come on post and commit
crimes, sell drugs or whatever,
and when they leave the bistalla-
tion, they’re off scot-free.”
He said civilians mistakenly
look at Fort Bliss as an “easy
target for drug sales.” But he
said the consequences actually
are rougher than people expect.
“Although our jurisdiction
does end at the military fence
line, we work very closely with
other law enforcement offi
cials,” Hay said.
Estimated values of the drugs
confiscated in the bust, which
began Jan. 6, included $52,430
worth of ijuana; $43,000 worth
of cocaine; $15,000 worth of he-

AUSTIN — Railroad and
natural gas interests Wednesday
lined up against a proposed
1,800-mile coal slurry pipeline
from Wyoming to Louisiana,
complaining the route has not
been defined in Texas.
A pre-conference hearing be
fore the Texas Railroad Com
mission touched off a prema
ture debate between the rail
roads and the pipeline develop
ers over the planning of the $3
billion project.
The utility regulatory agency
must decide whether the pipe
line is feasible before Energy
Transportation Systems Inc., a
Houston-based energy consor-
torium, can acquire right-of-way
for a 945-mile stretch of pipeline
through 36 Texas counties.
A three-member commission
hearing panel tentatively sche
duled a series of hearings along
the proposed route to begin in
April. A final hearing will be
held during June in Austin.
Wednesday’s hearing was de
signed to set up a formal public
hearing procedure, but Joe
Crawford, a lawyer for the Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas Rail
road, complained that Texas
landowners still do not know
whether their property would
be crossed by the pipeline.
“I was shocked when I
learned this morning that prop
erty owners don’t know where
the pipeline is going.” he said.
