Contractor gets citation
for lack of proper permit
DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas con
tractor who demolished a southeast
Dallas home at the request of a man
who he thought was the owner has
been cited by the city for operating
without a proper permit.
But the owner says he never au
thorized anyone to demolish the
home he had been renting and had
planned to sell.
“(The contractor has) been legally
told that he violated the law, and he
has to make an appearance in
court,” chief building official A1 Ol
son said Wednesday.
Reliable Wrecking Inc., could be
fined up to $1,000 lor the violation,
Olson said.
Ron Luedtke, a partner in the
wrecking company, said Tuesday a
man who identified himself as Ray
Stone contacted him last week, said
he owned the $46,000 home in
southeast Dallas and paid Luedtke
$750 to tear it down.
Luedtke didn’t return phone calls
to the Associated Press Wednesday.
His crew obtained a signed demo
lition contract and razed the three-
bedroom house last Thursday eve
ning. It took only 30 minutes to bull
doze the structure into a 3-foot-high
mound of rubble.
“To us, it was nothing unusual,”
Luedtke said. “We go over to High
land Park and tear down $200,000
houses just so people can build their
dream homes.
“You see things that are a shame,
but that’s just the way it is," he said.
“We don’t pry too much into their
personal affairs about why they want
it torn down.”
Judd Barner, 47, of suburban
Garland, owner of the property, said
he leased the house until six weeks
ago, when he evicted the tenants that
had been living there for not paying
their rent.
Barner told the Dallas Times
Herald last weekend that he had
lined up buyers who were to sign a
purchase contract Tuesday.
Luedtke said the man who identi
fied himself as Stone called again on
Monday, “and said not to worry, that
he owned the property.
“I also got a call from Mr. Barner,
who says he’s the owner and that he
doesn’t know this other man (Stone),
even though I described him to
him,” Luedtke said.
Luedtke said the man identified
as Stone had assured him that he
had obtained the required demoli
tion permit from the city, but the
contractor said he hadn’t seen it and
normally doesn’t ask to see the per
mit. It was the legal responsibility of
the building owner to get a permit,
he said.
Olson said the proper permits
weren’t obtained but an inspector
was at the site during the demolition
because of a complaint by a neigh
bor.
John Ralston, who runs a mobile
home park across the street from the
home, said there was no inspector at
the site. He said Wednesday he
called the police because power and
water still were connected to the
house, and he feared that there was
something wrong in the actions. The
police came and were shown a con
tract by the workers so they left,
Ralston said.
“If this can happen across the
street like this, then it can happen to
anybody in Dallas,” he said.
tomputer error causes second arrest
f man who shares name with fugitive
\N ANTONIO (AP) — A man
sted twice for alleged crimes
mined by another man with the
e name was released Tuesday af-
)fficials promised to clear a com-
:r error that sparked his arrest,
ate District Judge Peter Michael
ry ordered David Wayne Sutton,
released from the Bexar County
after prosecutors said he was not
man being sought.
The first time I was arrested I
cooperative because I didn’t
w what was going on,” Sutton
i knew that if you came out and
M&em too much trouble and
, ‘Hey I’m not so and so and
‘d better let me out of here,’ that
Duld just cause more trouble,” he
This time when I was arrested I
tthe anger inside, kept to myself,
t quiet and kind of coasted
>ugn it,” he said at a news confer-
utton’s mixup also angered au-
rities.
I’m sure it’s been a nightmare for
gu\, but the judge made a find-
ana made an order that it be cor
ed [and we have definitely de-
I I :d in our mind that this isn’t the
Jw swe are looking for,” District
irney Fred Rodriguez said.
“He was afraid to go renew his driver's license because
he was afraid he was going to get picked up. Every
time he takes a step outdoors, he fears he’s going to get
picked up.”
—Jeannie Bradshaw
Sutton’s mother-in-law
This has hap-
)ened now and
He blamed sheriffs department
officials for not removing Sutton’s
name from a computer and for mix
ing some information on Sutton with
that of another David Wayne Sutton,
who is a fugitive.
Sutton was first arrested in Au
gust at a San Antonio airport after
returning from his honeymoon.
His attorneys thought they had
the misunderstanding resolved until
Sutton was arrested in Kendall
County on Sunday because of bad
computer information.
But Rodriguez said the similarities
between the two Suttons also
sparked confusion.
“They had almost the same every
thing,” Rodriguez said. “Both were
named David Wayne Sutton. One
was born in 1956, the other in 1957.
Both have blue eyes and brown hair.
One weighs 160, the other 155; one
is 5-11, the other is 5-10 and the pic
tures are not that different either.”
He said after Sutton’s first release,
the sheriffs department erred when
it placed Sutton’s information with
that of the fugitive.
“There were two sets of identifica
tions, two sets of dates of birth, two
heights, two weights, two addresses,”
he said.
“How or why they were merged, I
don’t know,” he said. “We don’t have
access to the code. We don’t even
have access to add or delete.”
Sheriff Harlon Copeland said Sut
ton’s background information has
been taken off the computer and an
employee who made the error will
be retrained.
“It is an unfortunate incident,”
Copeland said. “She will be re
trained on the computer, but that in

itself is not infallible,
pened before, it happe
it will happen in the future.”
Sutton’s mother-in-law, Jeannie
Bradshaw, said the case has been
stressful.
“He was afraid to go renew his
driver’s license because he was afraid
he was going to get picked up,” she
said. “Every time he takes a step out
doors, he fears he’s going to get
picked up.”
Sutton’s attorney, Jack Paul Leon,
has threatened to sue the sheriffis
department for making computer
errors and is planning to compile a
book of newspaper clippings for his
client so he can present it to authori
ties if he ever is arrested again.
“We’re trying to publicize that this
is not the man that is wanted,” Leon
said. “If somebody stops him in
Small Town, Texas, or Large Town,
Texas, he’ll have some documents
there with reports of the incident. . .
to prevent it from happening again.”
The other Sutton has been
charged with burglary of a building,
retribution, unauthorized use of a
motor vehicle, possession of a con
trolled substance and injury to a
child, officials said.
Sutton said he is not too interested
in meeting his namesake, but if he
saw him, he’d make a citizen’s arrest.
