Five people were jailed Thursday
without bond after the Wednesday
evening raid at a Dallas hotel.
Phil Jordan, special agent in
charge of the DEA in Dallas, identi
fied the suspects as Olga Hernandez
Cordova, 28, Herlinda Ramos
Jimenez, 52, and Garland Orby
Taylor, 57, all of Fort Worth; Billy
Charles Dennis, 53, of Rio Vista,
Texas; and Gildardo Molina Garcia,
30, a Mexican national who resides in
Cudahy, Calif. All were charged with
heroin distribution.
The suspects expected $1.7 million
for the drugs, he said, which would
be worth $20 million in one-ounce
street sales. He said agents had nego
tiated a price of $ 167,000 a kilogram,
or 2.2 pounds.
More arrests were expected as
agents searched for suspects and
seized property and Fort Worth area
businesses operated by Ramos, of fi
cials said.
Agents contacted Ramos, a con
victed heroin traf ficker, in May 1985,
McCormick said.
Ramos reportedly told agents that
she could provide them with a supply
of high-quality black tar heroin.

In RAW DEAL
AUSTIN (AP) —Gulf States Utili
ties Co. agreed to a settlement Thurs
day to roll back Texas rates so they
will either be equal to or below those
in Louisiana, a company official said.
According to the official, who
asked that his name not be used, in
stead of the $133.4 million increase
the company requested, Gulf Slates
agreed to a settlement that calls for
“126 million in reductions for Texas
customers, and of that amount, $80
million will apply to basic rates and
$46 million to fuel costs.
The settlement was reached with
those opposing Gulf States’ rate in
crease request.
Settlement talks began Monday af
ter Public Utility Commissioner De
nnis Thomas asked the PUG to con
sider action halting Gulf States’ high-
, er summer rates from taking ef fect.
Several Southeast Texas cities in-
, eluding Beaumont, Pbrt Arthur, Port
■ Neches, Nederland and Orange
enacted rollback ordinances earlier
this year.
Ramos then allegedly set up a
meeting in Los Angeles in December
1985 between agents and two Mex
ican nationals, including Garcia,
whom she described as her suppliers,
said Ft. Robert L. Thomasson, chief
of narcotics for south Louisiana.
The alleged Mexican traffickers
agreed to supply the agents with up
to 21 kilograms of black tar heroin
for as much as $3.5 million per ship
ment, he said.
Black tar heroin is crudely proces
sed and comes from the Durango,
Sinola, Sonora and Guerrero areas of
Mexico, according to the DEA.
