Texas prosecutor faces charges
By Hugh Aynesworth
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
DALLAS --
A West Texas district attorney, once publicly praised for his efforts
to stamp out narcotics in his part of the Panhandle, faces federal
drug charges that could put him in jail for the rest of his life.
Rick Roach, 55, remains in a court-ordered inpatient drug-treatment
facility in Dallas.
He likely will be taken back to the Panhandle city of Pampa for a
state civil suit hearing on Feb. 14 -- a case that is asking for his
removal from office -- and to Amarillo the next day for pretrial
matters concerning the federal narcotics charges.
Mr. Roach, a Republican who first won election in 2000 with a strong
anti-drug campaign, was arrested in a Gray County courtroom on Jan. 11
as several of his peers looked on in amazement.
After confiscating two handguns from the district attorney's
briefcase, FBI agents converged on Mr. Roach's home, his office and an
apartment rented by the district attorney's office.
According to court documents, officials said they found 35 more guns,
along with a cache of cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana, scales and
syringes.

"Atheism is the world of reality, it is reason, it is freedom. Atheism is
human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind
cannot begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is not an
old religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and
never has been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in
its simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world of
madness."

He also apparently was toting two handguns in his briefcase, something
he was taking with him to court rooms.

That law doesn't apply to him either. :)
I've seen attorneys walk into court buildings armed. They bypass the
metal detectors, so they can get away with it.
And in one building here, civilians aren't even allowed to bring in
cell phones - even if they're turned off.

Texas prosecutor faces charges
By Hugh Aynesworth
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
DALLAS --
A West Texas district attorney, once publicly praised for his efforts
to stamp out narcotics in his part of the Panhandle, faces federal
drug charges that could put him in jail for the rest of his life.
Rick Roach, 55, remains in a court-ordered inpatient drug-treatment
facility in Dallas.
He likely will be taken back to the Panhandle city of Pampa for a
state civil suit hearing on Feb. 14 -- a case that is asking for his
removal from office -- and to Amarillo the next day for pretrial
matters concerning the federal narcotics charges.
Mr. Roach, a Republican who first won election in 2000 with a strong
anti-drug campaign, was arrested in a Gray County courtroom on Jan. 11
as several of his peers looked on in amazement.
After confiscating two handguns from the district attorney's
briefcase, FBI agents converged on Mr. Roach's home, his office and an
apartment rented by the district attorney's office.
According to court documents, officials said they found 35 more guns,
along with a cache of cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana, scales and
syringes.
Formal charges of possession with intent to distribute
methamphetamines and cocaine were filed.
Because — federal agents says — he was "an unlawful user" and was
"addicted to a controlled substance," the government also charged him
with illegally possessing the weapons.
Bill Kelly, Mr. Roach's lawyer, played down the significance of
the cache of weapons.
"A lot of people collect guns," said Mr. Kelly in Amarillo,
adding, "And they're certainly not illegal in doing so. This is
hunters' country."
Since Mr. Roach was sent to Dallas for evaluation and treatment,
additional facts have been made public by the government and
speculation about where Mr. Roach obtained the drugs has run rampant.
Last August, for example, the district attorney brought a court
order to the Texas Department of Public Safety laboratory in Amarillo
to check out two pounds of methamphetamines, saying he needed the
substance for training drug dogs. None of the amphetamines were
returned.
Apparently, it was Mr. Roach's personal behavior that brought
about the unusual investigation.
Lawyers and law-enforcement officers in Pampa and Amarillo told
stories about how he suffered wild mood swings and paranoia in the
past few months, behaved irrationally and often disappeared — even
with scheduled activities on his docket.
He told at least one of his employees about his amphetamine use,
court documents indicate. He told the associate that he had become
hooked on amphetamines in 2003 after he helped seize a stash. He then
became "a regular user," the associate told authorities.
Mr. Roach was 11 days into his second term when arrested. He is
the district attorney for Texas' 31st Judicial District — the five
sparsely populated Panhandle counties of Gray, Hemphill, Roberts,
Wheeler and Lipscomb.
Some in Pampa say Mr. Roach's irascibility might not have been the
result of drug addiction, but simply a confrontational personality.
Once, angered by demands made by constituents, he locked the
district attorney's office from the public for a short time. On other
occasions, he sued newspapers the Pampa News and Canadian Record for
libel. The cases were dismissed.

I'd like to see him charged as a "terrorist" for bringing them into
court rooms.

It also appears to be right-wing cocaine-shorting Christian country.

That was probably Rush Limbaugh. }:-} Another Bush-Republican like

He'd qualify, but the reich won't so charge.

I bet it was the FBI that handed him the dope. Bet! They're the only
law enforcement agency out there stuffed full of incompetent morons
enough to hand out two pounds of dope to heavily armed Republicans and
expect to see it back.

Yeah, it is pretty ***** funny. "Dope? Two pounds of dope?

Probably not the FBI: probably just the state law enforcement
agency (the sheriff's department, I suspect). While the FBI is jam
packed with incompetent morons, they do not hold any kind of
monopoly for stupidity when it comes to law enforcement.
