Black Mart Tire Buyers To Be Tried
OPA Director Mark McGee says prosecutions will extend to innocent buyers in the black market tire ring operating from the Rio Grande Valley to Amarillo. After a running gun fight between Fort Worth and Dallas, two suspects, aged 21 and 49, were captured as officers recovered stolen tires and weapons. Police say the group, linked by a man named Max Reagin from Mauston, included others tied to robberies at Thorndale, Columbus, Burnett, and Runge. FBI and OPA continue to probe purchases by prominent San Antonians as anonymous tips pour in.
