his own murder
GARRISON (AP) — East Texas
authorities arrested a 24-year-old
Edinburg man Wednesday in con
nection with the slaying of a Nacog
doches County constable whose
murder was videotaped by a camera
on his patrol car.
Department of Public Safety
spokesman David Wells said authori-
ties charged Reynaldo Sambrano
Villarreal with capital murder late
Wednesday after he was picked up
walking near Farm to Market Road
138 in Shelby County by a DPS
trooper.
Nacogdoches County Precinct 2
Justice of the Peace Billy Gresham
denied bail for Villarreal.
Nearly 100 law enforcement offi
cers continued to comb the heavily
wooded area of Nacogdoches
County late Wednesday for two
other men believed to be accom
plices in the murder.
Constable Darrell Lunsford, 47,
of Garrison, was killed about 1:30
a.m. during a traffic stop along U.S.
Highway 59, which runs through the
dny town in northeastern Nacog
doches County.
Three men, described as Hispan-
j ics, were captured on videotape
beating, kicking and stabbing the of
ficer, Wells said.
A vehicle with Maine license
plates was found abandoned shortly
after the attack, and the trio was be
lieved to be on foot, Wells said.
Stephen McCausland, spokesman
for the Maine Public Safety Depart
ment, said the car is registered to
Jose G. Galvan, 22, of North
Turner, Maine. McCausland said
Galvan moved to Texas in Novem
ber.
Two state police detectives have
been assigned to the case, McCaus
land said.
Roadblocks were up and authori
ties were being assisted by helicopt
ers from the DPS and from the U.S.
Customs Service and by tracking
dogs from the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice.
“The car was abandoned about
three-quarters of a mile from the
homicide scene, still in the town,”
Wells said. “Officers believe they are
on foot and believe they took his
handgun, a .357 Magnum and possi
bly a badge, credit cards and cash.”
“The tape was running when Dar
rell got out of the car,” said Nacog
doches County Sheriff Joe Evans.
“We think the suspects could be
identified from the tape.”
Space shuttle flight
will continue despite
action in Middle East
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP)
— The commander of the next
space shuttle flight, a military mis
sion that NASA is readying amid
tightened security, said Wednesday
neither he nor his crew is worried
about flying in wartime.
Discovery is scheduled to lift off
on the year’s first shuttle voyage as
early as Feb. 26.
“I don’t think we have any extra
apprehension,” astronaut Michael
Coats said. “I think the apprehen
sion the crew feels is for the men and
women who are fighting in the Gulf
right now. They’ve got a much more
serious job to do than we’ve got right
here.”
Because of the threat of possible
terrorist activity, the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
has increased security at Johnson
Space Center and Florida’s Kennedy
Space Center. Guards at entrances
are checking passes more carefully,
and access to certain areas is more
limited than before war erupted in
the Persian Gulf last week.
“Beyond that, suffice it to say that
appropriate measures are oeing
taken,” NASA spokesman Jeffrey
Carr said.
Discovery will carry no special
camera lenses to survey the Middle
East, Coats said. The astronauts will
take pictures of the area just as they
would on any other flight at any
other time, he said.
“We’re going to try to see what we
can see up there,” Coats said. “But I
can tell you based on my experience
we’re not going to be able to see a
whole lot from orbit ... we will be
looking for things like smoke plumes
from burning refineries and ships in
the Gulf, that sort of thing.”
Coats, a Navy captain, said he and
his six-man crew considered
canceling Wednesday’s meeting with
the press because of the war.
“What’s going on over there is
very important and very serious
business, he said. “I’m not sure this
is as important or as serious.”
The astronauts decided to pro
ceed with the preflight briefing be
cause “the payload we were carrying
probably had a lot of applicability, if
you will, to potential future conflicts
much like this,” Coats said.
Discovery’s cargo includes a Strat
egic Defense Initiative spacecraft
that will monitor chemicals and
gases released in space as well as
shuttle rocket plumes, something
never observed oefore by scientific
instruments in space. Such informa
tion will help the Defense Depart
ment build better sensors for detect
ing missiles aimed at the United
States or its allies, said Lt. Col. Pat
Tally, assistant deputy for technol
ogy for SDL
Discovery also will carry an Air
Force experiment to gatner infor
mation on Earth’s atmosphere, celes
tial sources and the environment in
and around the shuttle’s cargo bay.
ft also will be the first unclassified
military flight of a shuttle.
