DALLAS (AP) — A man mistak
enly released from a prison sentence
for the drunken driving killing of a
police officer prepared Tuesday to
go back behind bars, his attorney
said.
Through a series of errors, Dale
Ross Looper, 33, of Hunt County,
was released two years ago after
serving only 10 months of a 10-year
sentence for an involuntary man
slaughter conviction stemming from
a 1982 traffic accident that killed
Lyndon Fred King in Grand Prairie.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers
agreed that the man will surrender
in Walker County and be trans
ferred to the nearby Texas Depart
ment of Corrections in Huntsville,
said Pete Lesser, one of Looper’s at
torneys.
“I think the whole situation is un
fortunate,” said Lesser. “But I don’t
think it was done by malice.”
Authorities issued a warrant for
Looper’s arrest when officials dis
covered that he had not served at
least 3 1/3 years of the sentence.
Looper said he has stayed out of
trouble during the time he has been
out of prison.
“I can’t go through it again,” said
Looper, who has worked as a me
chanic and planned to open a gas
station. “There won’t be anything
left of me for them to take to
prison.
Lesser said he believes Looper is

cause he is entitled to the time that
he would have served had he not
been released.
Looper struck King with his vehi
cle while the officer was investigat
ing a traffic accident, according to
investigators. Looper, who had two
previous DWI convictions, was in
toxicated and driving with a sus
pended license at the time of the ac
cident, police said.
Two weeks after the April invol
untary manslaughter trial, Looper
pleaded guilty to an unrelated DWI
charge and was sentenced to three
years in prison.
Aggie brings string of credentials
to new post as Air Force secretary
By Dawn Butz
Reporter
Because the first case was still pen
ding, state prison officials were un
aware of its 10-year sentence and
kept him only for the minimum time
for the three-year DWI sentence.
“All I can say is that we screwed
up,” said Maj. Bob Knowles, the
county’s deputy detentions com
mander.
Parole records indicate that
Looper told the parole board about
his longer sentence. The error was
discovered when a state appeals
court upheld the involuntary man
slaughter conviction and sent notifi
cation to county officials.
One of the latest bumper stickers
being sported on Aggie cars reads:
“What do you call an Aggie after 5
years? Boss.”
Add a few more years and a lot of
hard work and you may be secretary
of the Air Force, at least if you’re Ed
ward C. “Pete” Aldridge Jr., Class of
’60.
Formerly undersecretary of the
Air Force, Aldridge was nominated
April 8 to his new position by Presi
dent Reagan.
Aldridge, who has served as un
dersecretary since 1981, will replace
Russell A. Rourke, who resigned
April 7.
In a statement following the
White House announcement, Al
dridge said, “I will . . . ensure that
the Air Force’s combat capabilities —
now and in the future — will meet
any challenge. With the support of
the president, the secretary of de
fense, the Congress and the Ameri-
tan people, I know we will achieve
these goals.”
Aldridge was scheduled as a pay-
load specialist for a secret military
flight in March on the space shuttle
Discovery. The cancelled flight
would have been the first space shut-
Edward C. “Pete” Aldridge Jr.

West Coast military launch facility at
Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

While at A&M he was a menilier
of Corps Squadron 7.
