Plain Talk About Career as Offi cer
Retired lawman O T Lindsey, 68, completed 40 years in law enforcement Friday and says he would not relive the career. He spent over 20 years with the Lubbock County Sheriff's Department after earlier roles as deputy constable, city marshal, and chief of police in Artesia New Mexico. Lindsey recalls bootleggers, oil boom towns, and a stint as a Mississippi MP, but laments the gun and lifestyle and would not recommend the path. He moved between McLean, Pam pa, Lubbock, Sudan, and Pam pa before retirement. He reflects that enforcement limits during MP duty and the high excitement of earlier days kept him returning to service.
