Jurisdiction tangle frees Navarette
Andrews County prosecutors seek Arturo Patino Navarette but Texas law bars the move. Lea County prosecutors could take Navarette but do not want him. Navarette, 27, Hobbs, N.M., is charged by Texas with the October 1982 slaying of Belemeyes Castillo near Andrews. Belemeyes Castillo was found nude except for boots, shot in the chest. Jesus Melendez of Hobbs implicated Navarette in a plea bargain, gaining a 10 year sentence.
