Investigators said the sus pect, identified as Joe Mays of Lubbock, was so heavily drugged after his arrest Tues day he tried to eat toilet paper and tear apart the flesh of his hand with his teeth. Mays was transferred to the Johnson County jail in Burleson south of Fort Worth after he tore up the padding on the wall of the city jail cell where he was first taken. Police also arrested the driver of a red Cadillac from which the man allegedly bolted naked. The driver was under investiga tion for possession of weapons and controlled substances and the possible robbery of a phar macy, Reinhardt said. “I got the call from a dis patcher and when I got to the location the Burleson police had set up a check,” Reinhardt said. “The red Cadillac was parked on the side of the road and this man was running naked on the highway. He had absolutely nothing on. “The driver had a pistol. The naked man also had a pistol which he hid in the trunk of the car. There were several suit cases which we opened after ob taining a search warrant. We found some powdery substance in open view in the back seat and it is believed to be cocaine. There were several narcotic pills in the suitcases.” Reinhardt said the man was arrested “while he was still try ing to put on his pants.” In the jail cell, Reinhardt said the man “rippped open the foam right out of the walls. He tried to eat the toilet paper, the white pillows and then he started eating his own flesh and began bleeding.” LIH, WAITRESS, IW READY TO ORDER /VOW, I THINK... by Scott McCulll ID LIKE A PLATE OF CHIPS, A FEW I3VTES OF SOFT WARE.. .

A lawyer for the Klan, Ed ward Sherman, said the KKK will await the outcome of its own federal court lawsuit chal lenging the city restrictions be fore scheduling another march. “The Klan has decided to postpone their march this Sat urday and wail for the federal court ruling on these (restric tion) issues,” said Sherman. “I think their notion is once they get a ruling from the court on what kind of conditions can be imposed on them, then they will request another day (to march).” District Judge Bob Perkins is sued the injunction at the re quest of the Austin Police Asso ciation, which said it feared the march might incite the same kind of violence prompted by a KKK rally and march in Austin a year ago. Jerry Spain, president of the police officers’ group, sug gested the Klan be allowed to hold a rally at one location rather than march up Congress Avenue to the Capitol. A Klan rally on Feb. 19, 1983 turned into a near riot when about 3,000 hecklers clashed with police who were trying to protect a small band of white- robed Klansmen. Thirteen peo ple were arrested and 11, in cluding some police officers, were injured. Perkins scheduled another hearing on the Police Associa tion’s request for Friday morn ing, but the status of the suit was unclear after the Klan vol untarily canceled the inarch. Spain, a sergeant on the po lice force, said Austin police of ficers believe violence is “likely to occur” again if the Klan is al lowed to march because the KKK’s goals “are so offensive to decent citizens.” Police Association la»m Colliert said hedoesnoikil a ban on the Klan march*; violate the organi/ation'iil Amendment rights. “There are cases thaiaj (First Amendment)isnotii ficient reason inandofisj march),” he said. “We are simply asking the court to prevent a parade which is very difficult to police ad equately and instead permit a rally or other demonstration where the participants and on lookers can be more easily pro tected,” he said.
