Student killed
after pointing
gun at officer
AUSTIN (AP) — A 17-year-old
who dropped out of high school ear
lier this month was shot and killed
after he pointed a handgun at a po
lice officer, authorities said.
Arthur Martinez died early Tues
day in a creekbed near a park, where
he was shot by Senior Patrol Officer
Tobias Santiago. ‘
Hetsezr £eTUR.NS home TO discover, that f/e NAS
6EEN TRtaCED more times THAU TREATED 0NJ THIS
}-/ALLOV/eeu MIGHT.
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.
