Grand jury to weigh felony theft charges in oil ring
In Ballinger the 119th District grand jury will review charges of felony theft and conspiracy against several individuals tied to an interstate oil theft ring. Examining trials for Leroy Long and H K Elrod of Houston were held, with both freed on prior bonds. The scheme allegedly stole crude oil from West and Central Texas leases and from Louisiana and Oklahoma, shipping and selling with forged paperwork to Texas refineries. Nine men may face charges as the investigation continues. In Monahans, Darlene Gifford begins as Southwestern Bell Telephone Company business office manager, her 19th year with the firm. Previously she supervised the Odessa office.
