Magistrate plans early resignation amid gun incident
Odessa magistrate Jimmy Harris says he will resign before his term ends due to age and unfinished business. The 76 year old peace justice entered office in 1973 and began a four year term in 1975. Harris faced questions after a cashier identified him with a pistol in a May 16 store incident but he denies carrying a handgun. His wife Aurora faced theft and assault charges the same morning.
