Santiago, 32, was placed on re stricted duty, a routine procedure, while police investigate the shooting. Martinez, who dropped out of Austin’s Crockett High School this month, pointed a .45-caliber, semi automatic weapon at the officer, po lice said. He was shot in the left side of the chest near the armpit and just above his left ear, Travis County Medical Examiner Robert Bayardo said. Martinez was intoxicated at the time of his death, Bayardo said. The teen’s blood-alcohol level was 0.15 percent, according to the medical examiner. Judge tells Customs officials to let agent return to duties HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. Customs Service must reinstate an agent removed from investigatory duties because he disclosed possible corruption oy high-level officials, an administrative judge says. Sharon Fonsworth Jackson, a Merit Systems Protec tion Board administrative judge, ruled that agency offi cials failed to show “clear and convincing evidence that it would have restricted” Special Agent L.ouis Smit’s work if he had not blown the whistle on certain Cus toms officials. Smit has said he was removed from investigatory du ties because he disclosed possible official corruption brought to his attention while he was investigating a South Texas drug smuggling operation. Smit and another agent, John A. Graham, who made the same allegations, work out of Corpus Christi. The judge ordered Customs to restore Smit’s full du ties and give him back pay and benefits, which could ex ceed $20,000. Customs officials in Houston, who have jurisdiction in the region that includes Corpus Christi, did not im mediately return telephone calls from the Associated Press Wednesday. But the service has been given time to appeal the judge’s finding before it becomes final. Regional Customs officials had previously questioned the credibility of the allegations reported by Smit and Graham. Smit testified that Marvin Milner, resident agent in charge in Corpus Christi at the time, harassed him about his handling of the La Esperanza drug smuggling investigation. Milner was a personal friend of two Customs officials allegedly involved in wrongdoing, according to the tes timony. Smit, 32, testified that Milner threatened to fire him if he continued making allegations against Customs officials. “The appellant (Smit) said that, although he told Milner he was only reporting the allegations being re lated to him, Milner told him he was not to investigate corruption,” the judge’s ruling said. James Darby, who was Smit’s group supervisor in Corpus Christi, testified Smit had not caused any prob lems before the reports of corruption in September 1988 and had received several performance commen dations. He said Milner lowered Smit’s performance rating, although his previous ratings had always been satisfac tory or above.
