ff
old man who took off his
clothes and began running up
and down a highway in full view
of several drivers was charged
with indecent exposure, drug
and weapon counts Tuesday,
authorities said.
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.”

He was finally subdued after
he had done about ”$10,000
worth of damage to the cell,”
Reinhardt said. “He actually
tore up the wall with his teeth
and hands.”

ALTSTIN — A state court
judge Tuesday temporarily
blocked the Ku Klux Klan from
staging a march Saturday to the
state Capitol, but the Klan later
called off the rally because of
restrictions imposed by the city.
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.”

a ban on the Klan march*;

Amendment rights.
“There are cases thaiaj

“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.
The Klan fded suit in 6
court last Friday, seeking
the restrictions. A spole

Spain said a rally or demon
stration, rather than a parade,
would be safer for the Klan
members and onlookers.
