Police beat
Man takes woman’s purse
A 38-year-old school district
employee was robbed early
Thursday at a Baytown school
campus, police said.
The victim, who works at the
W. Wye Drive at 7
pick up some papers. She
parked her car under a coveted
area, went into the school, then
returned to the vehicle a few
minutes later.
As she opened the door of her
car, she realized a man was in
her back seat He shoved her out
of the way as he climbed out of
the car, grabbed her purse and
ran.
Some witnesses saw him run-
ning toward League of Women
Voters Park. Police searched for
the suspect but failed to find
him. He is described as a black
man, 18 to 21 years old, about
5-feet 10-inches tall with a slim
build and weighing about 140
pounds. He stole the woman’s
purse, which contained numer-
ous credit cards and some cash.
Total loss is $305.
MAN ARRESTED
An 18-year-old man was
arrested Thursday by officers
patrolling a Village Lane apart-
ment complex.
Police were on foot patrol at
the complex because of com-
plaints of drug dealing in the
area. When they approached a
group of three men, one of those
men ran from them. They
pursued him and when an offic-
er caught up with the fleeing
suspect, a gun fell out of the
man’s pants. Officers searched
the man for weapons or drugs
and found a matchbox contain-
ing 21 rocks that tested positive
for cocaine.
Since the incident occurred
within 1.000 feet of Pumphrey
Elementary School, a gun-free,
drug-free designated zone,
police will pursue filing a feder-
al charge against the suspect.

on traffic violations, one for
driving while intoxicated, one
for criminal trespass, two for
narcotics charges, one for

two for outstanding warrants

Prosecutors: Underlings made to be Scapegoats’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran-Contra pro-
secutors concluded in their final report that
top Cabinet officers to President Reagan en-
gaged in a cover-up, plotting to make Oliver
North and two national security advisers
“scapegoats whose sacrifice would protect”
the administration, according to sources fa-
miliar with the document.
The report lays substantial blame for the
cover-up on former Attorney General Edwin
Meese, alleging he concocted “a false ac-
count” of a November 1985 anns-for-
hostages deal with Iran in order to protect
Reagan in the scandal’s early days, several
sources said.
Prosecutors would have considered seek-
ing Meese’s indictment after discovering
new evidence in 1992, but the statute of lim-
itations had expired, the sources added. They
described the new evidence as contempora-
neous notes by former White House chief of
staff Don Regan.
Iran-Contra prosecutor Lawrence Walsh’s
report was completed in August but has been
obtained a 60-day extension.
For now, the report is only available to
those named in it and their attorneys. A
number of sources provided The Associated
Press with a description of its contents, in-
cluding notes from the executive summary.
The sources, who insisted on anonymity,
said their notes indicate the final report de-
picts key officials of the Reagan administra-
tion as scrambling to deflect blame from the
president and his Cabinet.
“The president’s most senior advisers and
the Cabinet members on the National Sec-
urity Council participated in the strategy to
make National Security Council members
(Robert) McFarlane, (John) Poindexter and
North the scapegoats whose sacrifice would
protect the Reagan administration in its final
two years,” the notes quote the report as
saying.
“In an important sense, this strategy suc-
ceeded. Independent counsel discovered
much of the best evidence of the cover-up in
the final

mit responses. Reagan’s lawyers recently Security Council were Meese, Defense Sec-
retary Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of State
George Shultz and CIA Director William
Casey, who died in 1987.
McFarlane pleaded guilty to four misde-
meanors for withholding information but
was later pardoned by President Bush. Juries
convicted McFariane’s successor, Poindex-
ter, of five felonies and North of three, but
their convictions were reversed or set aside
on appeal.
According to the sources’ description and
the notes, the report states:
— Regan’s notes show that Meese at-
tempted to assemble a false story in Novem-
ber 1986, announcing that the president had
not known about a CIA-assisted arms-for-
hostages deal with Iran. Administration
aides feared that the November 1985 ship-
ment of Hawk missiles was illegal.
— The evidence indicates Meese con-
ducted a “damage control exercise” rather
than gathering facts amid the public uproar

»uui meese gave ms account to the
president and Cabinet, it was not challenged
by top officials who knew it to be false, the
sources and notes say.
