SAN ANTONIO — A 59-year-old
:o man accused of threatening to
per with cafeteria food if he
t get ransom money was or-
ed held without bond Thursday,
S magistrate said.
Ohn W. Dalseg, special agent in
rge of the FBI in San Antonio,
J Albert Richard Essig was
arged with extortion in a scheme
awpanned two years and involved
o cafeterias and at least three
hei business.
Essig allegedly left extortion notes
jring the last two weeks at a
Wyatt’s cafeteria in Austin and Lu-
by’s cafeteria in Waco that de
manded $50,000, Dalseg said.
Essig was arrested Wednesday
night at a public phone booth while
allegedly making an extortion call to
the Austin cafeteria, Dalseg said,
emphasizing that no food had been
tampered with at any business.
“We have been aware of someone
perpetrating this kind of scheme for
two years,” Dalseg said. “In January,
a drop (of ransom money) was made
but there was no pickup.”
In all, he said, four money drops
have been made, but no one ever
picked up the cash.
Federal magistrate Phil Sanders
said Thursday that Essig would ap
pear in court again within five days
for a detention hearing.
Dalseg said Essig was charged
with interference with interstate
commerce by extortionate means. A
conviction carries a maximum pen
alty of 20 years in prison and a
$10,000 fine.
“The investigation is continuing
and further charges are possible
against Essig,” Dalseg said.
ROBSTOWN (AP) — At least
three people died Thursday in an
explosive highway collision that
forced the evacuation of nearby
homes after a chemical-carrying
truck overturned, officials said.
Robstown Police Chief Eddie Me
jia said the ensuing fire gutted the
vehicles so badly that it was impossi
ble to say how many people had
died. But witnesses said at least three
people were killed.
Homes around the site on U.S.
Highway 77 were evacuated briefly
before 1 p.m., but some of the resi
dents were later allowed to return,
Mejia said.
Department of Public Safety
spokesman George Elisondo said a
car entering Highway 77 from
County Road 44 apparently turned
into the path of a southbound trac
tor-trailer rig that then hit the car,
jackknifed, rumbled across the
northbound lanes and hit another
car.
Firefighters battled a blaze that
had spread to a nearby railroad
bridge, he said.
