How Many Did He Really Kill?
The Story of Roy Alan Stuart
Strength in Numbers
By Bob Martin, Police News Contributor
Whenever we gather, we retirees
usually begin telling war stories. It
happens at funerals, too: we tell about
the departed comrade’s escapades. We
all like to tell the funny stories, but we
seldom want to talk about the bad ones.
It’s the same thing with military veterans.
There are some things they just don’t
want to talk about. Sometimes they fear
t ha t t al k in g a bo ut so me ho rri bl e
experience will bring it all back in some
terrifying way.
Most of our bad experiences relate to
the events in which one or two officers
were ambushed or fell victim to a crazy
motorist on a “routine” traffic stop. But
there were others, like the time a squad
of narcotics officers charged into an
apartment and few of them walked away.
One thing most of us Houston police
veterans had in common: there was
always some other officer to call on. We
all knew that the day would come when
we would put out what was called an
“assist the officer” call. When an officer
faced probable injury, or had already
been injured, an assist call would go out
on our radios, to which every officer
within miles was obliged to go at top
speed. For most of my years at HPD, the
officers on the streets were few in
number, and assistance could be miles
away.
Back in my time on the streets, it was
not unusual to see a city councilman
appear at the scene of an incident. All of
them were eligible for police radios. This
particular one also brought along a
shotgun.
In the big city of Houston, we always
had someone who would come rushing
to our aid. It might take longer than we
wanted, but the sound of an approaching
siren tended to soothe the nerves. It also
tended to make the bad guy behave.
Most of us who worked the street any
time at all can remember the time when
the hair stood up on the back of our neck.
I came close to that one morning just off
the East Freeway when I was completing

By Breck Porter, As Told By Matt Wingo
Retired HPD Officer Bob Martin and
wife Judy, also an HPD retiree
a report. I looked up and saw a man
approaching the rear of my police car,
and as I watched, observed a pistol in
his hand. Reaching for the microphone,
I reported what I was seeing and my
location, and got out of the car to face
the man.
As a cop, you learn to be watchful of what
is going on around you – and your
location. It is just a matter of selfpreservation. Here I was faced with a
man walking towards me, his arms to his
sides, and a pistol clearly in one hand,
though pointed at the pavement. As I
reached for my pistol and put my left
hand out, I shouted for him to stop and
drop the gun.
The gun fell to the pavement just as I
heard the sound of screeching tires. It
was a Park Police Officer known well to
me, who rolled to a stop and emerged
with a pistol in one hand and a shotgun
in the other. The man who had been
approaching me began to tremble, and
asked if he could speak.
Now, before I tell you what happened
next, let us consider the situation when I
got out of my car. I had a man not 20 feet
away who held a pistol in his hand and
who was walking towards me. There is

A once very active serial killer is a man
by the name of Roy Alan Stuart. He
currently is serving time in the Texas
Dep art me nt of Co rre ct io n s fo r
Aggravated Kidnapping, a life sentence.
I received a phone call one day around
1981, from a Sheriff in North Texas. He
told me of the man named Roy Alan
Stuart and told me of his suspicions that
Stuart had killed several women in North
Texas near Amarillo. The pencils went
to work and phone calls were made.
Backgrounds on Stuart ensued. In
tracking Stuart he was placed at or near
the areas and times of the killings of girls
from Arizona to Amarillo and then we
learned he lived in Brazoria County.
Roy Stuart had nine arrests for sexual
assault and intended sexual assault. In
1971 he was arrested for the murder of
Kay Sands in Amarillo. Then he was
arrested for the murder of Linda Kay
Simmons in Amarillo. Both murders were
in 1971, going back to my description of
prevailing law and judicial attitude, Stuart
with nine arrests for sexual assault
resulting in a final conviction in 1975 of
another Amarillo woman. The murder
charges did not “stick”. He was found
g ui lt y b y a n Amari ll o j ury o f th e
Aggravated Sexual Assault only to have
the case returned in 1978. Stuart got out
of his 99 year sentence by pleading guilty
for 15 years and one day in the Texas
Department of Corrections. He began is
sentence on May 17, 1975.
Seven years later on September 8,
1982 Stuart was released from the
Darrington prison unit in Brazoria County.
He apparently liked Brazoria County for
its presence next to and easy ingress and
egress to the serial killer shopping malls
of Houston. He moved to Brazoria with
his new wife he had married while he was
locked up. Stuart also loved fishing and
carried his serial killer alibi tool kit with
him always, fishing poles, a Texas fishing
license and accoutrements. He always
had his reason for being “near water”, or
24 hr. Service
Roy Alan Stuart
in the area and loved fishing on FM 2004
and in the many Galveston waterways.
On State Highway 288 between Houston
and Angleton there are many canals and
other waterways coincidentally right
there in the area where the bodies of
women were being dumped.
While living near Flagstaff, Arizona as
a teenager no history of killings of women
of this nature had occurred in the 60s.
As he grew older and moved around to
San Angelo and Amarillo killings began
to occur, women were reported missing
from the cities only to be found in rural
areas. Strangulation and asphyxiation
was ruled the causes of these deaths.
Some were found near water or if no
water was present they were found
underneath overturned water troughs.
Women reported being abducted, raped
and strangled only to be allowed to flee.
Then they stopped, Stuart had changed
residence. He was back in prison in
1975.
However, Stuart actually lived in San
Angelo in February, 1967, Canyon, Texas
in February,1969; 1970-1971 Tucson;
1972 Amarillo; February, 1974 Amarillo;
summer of 1974 in Missouri, and again

Roy Alan Stewart, From Page 1
in Amarillo in 1974. Stuart has family in
Houston and Belton, Missouri.
I contacted Jim Montero of the
Houston Police Department Chicano
Squad after Stuart was released in 1982
and we found our first body.. We began
long interval surveillance of Stuart. He
was found to have an affinity for Houston,
Galveston and Bay City prostitutes.
Obv io u sl y h e d id n o t ki l l a ll h e
enco untered, but he had freq uent
contacts. Surveillance on Stuart yielded
much information but not on the murders.
He continued to kill and dump bodies for
several more years despite frequent
police surveillance. It seemed that Stuart
did go without killing for a period of time,
and though married, continued his
consortium with Houston, Galveston and
Freeport prostitutes.
The body of a black female was found
in Brazoria County on State Highway 288
near the Harris County line in 1988.
Usual and customary investigation
occurred and the surveillance on Stuart
continued. He was seen in a known area
of prostitution in Houston while under
surveillance. He was observed driving
irregularly and stopped and found to be
intoxicated by a Houston police officer.
Stuart’s vehicle was towed and was
searched incidental to arrest. In the
vehicle were the fingerprints of the dead
woman, along with matching hair and a
broken windshield. The female was
known as a “tough guy” and apparently
fought him hard. After making bond
before the murder charge could be filed
Stuart entered a hospital and had back
surgery for a recent injury, I believe it was
fighting this woman.
Prevailing law and especially judges
were different back then, right after all
the civil rights wars of the 70s. A Harris
County Judge ruled that the search of
Stuart’s car incidental to arrest was
invalid and thus the evidence of the
murder was considered fruit of the
poisonous tree, never to be used again.
On August 1, 1989 Stuart was in
Freeport trolling for prostitutes. He found
one who happened to be friendly with
local police Captain Larry Bullard. Stuart
was taking pain medication and muscle
relaxants for his ailing back. It was
FUNNIES
arranged that Stuart deliver prescription
medication to a local snitch and he was
arrested. On June 3,1991 he pled “No
Conte st” to Delivery of Controlled
Substances and received 11 years and
9 days in TDC. He did only a portion of
his time then returned home and back to
the streets.
The Golfer
A murder has been committed.
Police are called to an apartment and
find a man standing, holding a 5-iron
in his hands, looking at the lifeless
body of a woman on the ground.
The detective asks, “Sir, is that your
wife?” ”Yes.”
”Did you hit her with that golf club?”
”Yes. Yes, I did,” the man answers.
He stifles a sob, drops the club and
puts his hands on his head.
”How many times did you hit her?”
”I don’t know. Five...six ...put me
down for a five.”
The Police Dog
Matt Wingo
Surveillance had continued off and on
with Stuart, but years take a toll on what
may continue to be done. Myself, Jim
Montero of the HPD Chicano Squad put
in many a thought and hour on Roy
Stuart. Then as happens in many of
these type cases luck was on our side,
and the side of a young girl. Stuart had
traveled to Bay City and found a target.
He took her to his home near Brazoria,
stripped her and assaulted her. He tied
her up and felt she was secure, but when
he turned his back she ran out the door
and into the street nude where she was
seen by neighbors. Stuart was arrested
and a search was run on his home on
June 6, 1994. He was tried and convicted
and in the guilt or innocence phase of
h is t ria l , he pl e d tru e t o th e
enhancements of prior convictions.
On October 19, 1994 Stuart received
a life sentence by a jury in Brazoria
County in Case Number 27748 for
Aggravated Kidnapping.
Today Roy Alan Stuart resides in the
McConnell Unit of TDC in Beeville,
Texas. He is Inmate Number 00723681
and will be eligible for parole on May 17,
2024. He will be 76 years old.
A woman saw an ad in the local
newspaper which read: “Purebred
Police Dog $25.”
Thinking that to be a great bargain,
she called and ordered the dog to be
delivered.
The next day a van arrived at her
home and delivered the mangiestlooking mongrel she had ever seen.
In a rage, she telephoned the man
who had placed the ad, “How dare
you call that mangy-mutt a purebred
police
dog?”
”Don’t let his looks deceive you,
ma’am,” the man replied, “He’s in the
Secret Service.”

Yeah you can see my license and registration,

Hey, you must’ve been doing’ about 125mph
(200km/h) to keep up with me! Good job!
Sorry, Officer, I didn’t realize my radar detector
wasn’t plugged in. I thought you had to be in
relatively good physical condition to be a Police

You know, I was going to be cop, but I decided to
finish high school instead. ”Bad Cop! No Donut!”
I wa s tryi ng to keep up with traff ic.
You’re NOT gonna check the trunk, are you?
Didn’t I see you get your butt kicked on “COPS”
last week on TV? I bet I could grab that gun before

Dear Editor:
What ever you did stopped the
obscene phone calls that were coming
into our office from that out of state
number. Keep up the great work with
the website and the updates. I really like
the breaking news updates. You are
doing a wonderful job.

Dear Editor:
Regarding your story, “5-year-old
wanders unnoticed from school,” I
imagine this happens more often than we
are aware of.
In 1997, my daughter wandered away
from her PPCD (Preschool Program for
Children with Disabilities) class when she
was 4 years old while attending Burnett
Ele School.
The kids had eaten breakfast and were
supposed to be in the restrooms washing
up. There was no hot water (so that the
kids did not burn their hands), it was
February. The water was very cold, so
she decided not to wash her hands. That
set of restrooms had a door to the
kindergarted wing and a door outside to
area where the temporary buildings
we re. Both do ors were un lo cke d.
I came onto the campus for a meeting
with the support staff, and found my
daughter (who has mental retardation)
outside but still on school property - but
with out the knowledge of any school
personnel. She was in short sleeves with
out a jacket, with pancake sryp on her
hands, face and shirt. I cleaned her up
and brought her back into her class, the
teacher didn’t even know she was
missing.
If I hadn’t come to the school for a
meeting and saw someone wandering
around (little did I originally knwo that this
child was my daughter), there is no telling
what would have happened. I wonder if
this is an issue for other school districts
in the area? I wonder how many other
incidents there have been throught out
the years.
By the way, Rachel was transfered to
Alamo after kindergarten and left the
school building (gym) with out teacher
knowledge. She was missed this time
and found shortly later out side on the
playground.
Arriene Kaplan
A Concerned mother
Dear Editor
My name is Sue. I get your Police News
paper every month but there is one I’m
always reading, it’s the August issue.
My son has been missing for two years
(Aug, 25, 2005) over at Rosharon. I know
it’s hard on all the mothers that have
loved ones missing. It really hurts the
moms worst that anyone. I know, my
heart is broken. I sit around and cry all
the time. (like now)We heard rumors that
he was in the Brazos River. I just wish
there was some way to drain that river
and give all the parents a peace of mind.
If I could swim I think I would go over
there. Everytime I think about my son that
could be in there it kills me.
Yes, my son was on drugs but that gives
no right for someone to take his life. I
know the detective is doing what he can.
We can’t get any TV news station to put
him on the news because when we say
drugs they just forget he was a human
being. But I think he is a better person
than any of them people who go out and
do harm to anyone else. I hope you can
understand how I feel.
I don’t wish this on anyone but it’s killing
me slowly. EquuSearch has been a help
but I need more help. I need closure for
his two kids. They miss him so much.
I have been walking over to one place
where he was getting his dope and there
was a drug deal going on then. And when
I was up on that guy’s porch trying to give
him one of the flyers he wouldn’t take it
and said, “he’s dead,” then said he didn’t
know him but if he see’s him he will tell
him his Mom is looking for him because
he has a boy of his own.
Then there was this other time we was
in Manvel at a yard sale and a guy came
up to my husband and told him that his
cousin had said to him, he knew what
happened to Robin. We reported that but
all we hear is, “I’ll talk to this person on
the phone.” We need more than phone
calls. We need help to find my son.
We need these people brought in and
asked in person what they know. I don’t
need rumors, I need a peace of mind.
I love my son and if I could do over or
turn time back I would in a second. I keep
looking down the road thinking he is
going to walk down here and say, “Hey
mom, I’m back.” But I don’t think he will,
but I’m not going to ever give up. I still
have his Christmas gifts and cards and I
love him so much it hurts.
So when I read you was going to start
putting your papers in Rosharon it made
my day and thank you for having a paper
like The Police News and thank you if
you read my letter.
And please, if there is anyone out there
that can help, please, I need all the help
I can get.
Thank you very much,
Glenda Sue Walton

Walton’s son, Robin Dewaine Mangrum
in this issue of The Police News.
Dear Editor:
Finally someone said what a lot of us
have been saying all along. I am a
Deputy with the Sheriffs Department
also, and a very close family lifelong
friend of Tommy’s.
I have been bitter about this whole
thing for years and very sad that Tommy
chose to give up a career he’s had since
leaving the Marine Corps. It is sad
situation and I just wanted you to know
that the article rocks. I wish, wish, wish
that this article could be put in print. It
needs to be seen and read over and over.

Mother’s Dead, Daddy’s In Prison
Murder Leaves Children Without Parents
By Marie Beth Jones, Feature Writer
The Police News, Copyright 2008
(L to R) Lt Russs Baker, Pearland Police Officer Jeff Middleton,
and Sheriff’s Investigator Eddie Rogers.
Following an eight-year on-again, offagain relationship, Bruce Glenn Milner
and Leza Maddalone were separated
when they met in a parking lot near
Pea rla nd on Au gu s t 1 4, 2 0 05 .
A hail of gunfire erupted during that
meeting near the Country Place Store on
McHard Road, marking the end of their
relationship – and the end Leza’s life.
A clerk in the store grabbed a telephone
and called the Brazoria County Sheriff’s
Office to report hearing the gunfire and
looking out a window to see someone
lying on the pavement. The caller could
give no good description of either the car
or the shooter.
Deputies from the sheriff’s office, and
Pearla nd Police were immed iately
dispatched to the scene. There they
found one woman dead and another very
seriously injured.
They learned that the shooter was a
man who had driven away in a goldcolo red ca r. That information was
broadcast to officers throughout the area.
As officers began searching for goldcolored vehicles, a Pearland officer
noticed one matching the description
traveling on SH 288. When the officer
attempted to stop the car, a chase
ensued.
Other officer’s joined in and a sheriff’s
deputy attempted to set up spikes to stop
the car, but the driver veered his vehicle
toward the deputy and raced on by. The
deputy fired one shot at the fleeing
vehicle.
The fleeing vehicle wrecked in a private
driveway on Highway 6 and the driver
jumped out and fled on foot with officers
in pursuit.
Eventually the suspect, identified as
Bruce Glenn Milner, surrendered to a
state trooper and was taken into custody.
Ryan Batson, the sheriff’s investigator
called to the shooting scene, was joined
by investigator Eddie Rogers to cover the
s it e whe re th e c ha s e e nd ed .
Inside Milner’s vehicle, Rogers found a
Cobra 9-mm. pistol with live rounds in
b ot h t he cl ip an d t he ch a mb er.
“This weapon is kind of a knock-off of an
Uzi,” Rogers says. “It had a 30-round clip,
with eight shells still in the gun and
possibly a couple found behind the seats
in the van.”
Milner had fired 13 shots in the parking
lot, Rogers says, as indicated by the
number of spent casings recovered by
officers at the scene.
Batson’s investigation revealed that the
dead woman was 31-year-old Leza
Maddalone. Her mother, Debra Sanchez,
was very seriously injured and rushed to
a hospital by ambulance.
Milner, 32, was taken to the sheriff’s
office, where Rogers and Lt. Russ Baker
interviewed him. After reading him his
rights for the second time, Milner agreed
to make a statement.
Bruce Milner
”He told us he lived with his mother in
Oys te r Cree k, th a t he ha d b ee n
diagnosed as bipolar but had been off
his medications lately, and that he had
attempted suicide in the past,” Rogers
says.

Legal Fees Trap Catman
The San Luis Pass toll worker,
dragg ed i nto co urt by the Ci ty of
Galveston for harboring too many cats,
be at t he ch arges whe n the c ou rt
determined the city ordinance was
flawed, but it cost him in the end.
The case which garnered national news
last year when tollbooth worker John
Newland, who for years has been feeding
feral cats around the bridge spanning
San Luis Pass and connecting Galveston
and Brazoria counties, reported a noted
bird guide for shooting and killing his
cats. Eventually the bird guide was
arrested and later acquitted by a jury on
an Animal Cruelty charge.
Newland believes he was arrested in
retaliation by animal control officer’s who
suddenly appeared at the toll bridge and
at his home looking for violations. They
had not been to that area in the past five
years that he had been feeding and
caring for the cats underneath the bridge.
Following the hearing on his case in
Galveston Municipal Court in which it
was determined that the charge against
him was unsustainable, Newland got a
bill from the attorney representing him.
And though the attorney agreed to some
variance from his usual rate, the bill is
somewhat of a set back. Newland
remembered that the bird lover that killed
the cat raised money through the media
and on his website for his legal defense
fund. “So why can’t I,” he asked. He
hopes animal lover’s, cat lover’s in
p arti c ul ar, wil l c ome t o hi s a id .

Galveston
County Sheriff’s
Dep u ty
wa s
acquitted by a state district court jury in
February on charges that he endangered
the lives of two children by towing a
disabled golf cart across Hwy 87 in
Crystal Beach which was struck by an
oncoming car.
Off duty deputy Thomas Chatterton
said the golf cart which had been
bo rrowed from hi s Crys tal Bea ch
parents, stalled on the beach while two
women and two boys, ages 10 and 12,
were taking a pleasure ride. He went to
their rescue and tied the golf cart to the
car belonging to the mother of one of the
boys in the cart. He was towing them
across Hwy 87. The vehicle he was
driving cleared the highway but an
oncoming car crashed into the golf cart
sending the four people to the hospital.
They all suffered minor injuries and were
released the same day.
Chatterton was issued a ticket for
failure to yield the right-of-way to an
oncoming vehicle. The person driving the
vehicle which hit the golf cart was not
cited.
It was believed at the time that the
incident was resolved. However, the
mother of one of the boys in the golf cart
hired lawyers and threatened to sue
everyone on the planet, including the
Sheriff and the District Attorney, claiming
they all conspired to cover up for the
deputy by not pursuing more serious
charges against him. Even though her
son suffered no serious injury, this
mother who was not at the scene,
managed to squeeze money settlements
f ro m t wo i n su ra n ce co mp a ni es .
District Attorney Kurt Sistruck took the
case before a grand jury personally,
seeking to indict the deputy on Child
Endangerment charges. According to
Chatterton, Sistruck suggested to the
grand jury that there may have been
alcohol involved because a cooler on the
golf cart spilled onto the highway,
scattering ice, soft drinks and wine
coolers. Although the investigating officer
found no evidence of alcohol involvement
at the scene, administered no field
sobriety test or breath test, or make a
forced blood draw at a hospital, the grand
jury was convinced by the DA that
Chatterton was responsible for the
injuries to the children. Chatterton said
it seemed to him the DA sought the
indictment agains t him in order to
side step c harges by th e woma n’s
lawyers of a cover-up and avoid the
lawsuit.
Even though the children’s parents
placed the children in the golf cart to be
towed, and even though one of the
parents was riding in the towing vehicle
with Chatterton, and even though the
towing vehicle belonged to the mother,
there was no effort by law enforcement
or the district attorney to place any blame
or responsibility on either parent for
e nd an g erme n t of th e c hi l dren .
During the trial there was no testimony
from any state witness that Chatterton
showed any indication of being under the
influence of alcohol at the scene of the
wreck. At the conclusion of the trial, even
t he j u ro rs we re as to n is he d t ha t
Chatterton was brought to trial with little
or no evidence that he was singly
responsible for the incident.
Three years elapsed between grand
jury indictment and the trial. During that
time Chatterton allowed his Texas Peace
Officer license to expire and found it very
difficult to find suitable employment
because of the felony indictment pending
against him. Because of enormous legal
expenses he was forced to give up his
home and he worked odd jobs to eek out
a living.
In response to media reports that he
ha d bee n fired from t he Sh eri ff ’s
Dep art me n t, Ch at t erto n s a id h e
voluntarily resigned because of the
stress placed on he and his family.
There is an age old saying in law
enforcement and the legal profession.
“You may beat the rap, but you won’t beat
th e ri de. ” In th e cas e of Th omas
Chatterton, he did beat the charge, but
the ride was disastrous.
Sheriff Gean Leonard announced after
the court decision clearing Chatterton,
that he would certainly give serious
consideration to rehiring him should he
decide to apply for employment again.
The Police News fails to see why this
deputy was prosecuted in the first place.
The term ‘Scapegoat’ comes to mind.

A Justified Ass Whipping
That Didn’t Happen

(409) 925-6323 (409) 925-4155 Fax
In February a couple of League City
police officers were sent to a home in
the 2100 block of Lakewind Court to quell
a fight between a couple of parents over
cu st od y th ei r on e-ye ar o ld c hi ld .
The very fact that police had to get
involved explains the intellect and civility
o f th e se two, so -c a ll ed pa ren ts .
As the officers tried to sooth the flames
of battle, the father, 41-year old James
Aaron Shankle, assaulted the officers,
then grabbed the child and held him up
as a shield between he and the officers,
to prevent them from tackling and cuffing
him.
They finally did however, and promptly
placed Shankle in the slammer and
charged him with attacking the officers
and endangering the life and limb of the
child.
They also arrested the mother, 29-year
old Michaelle Jonit Shankle for violating
a court order by preventing her husband
f ro m s ee in g h is th re e c hi l dren .
The officers, Sgt. Tony Hera and officer
Shawn Blair were treated for broken ribs
and a knee injury but will probably be
back at work soon dealing with more of
same.
Now here’s a guy that really deserved
James Aaron Shankle
to have his ass whipped by the cops, but
they didn’t. Where was Quanell X and
all those other bleeding hearts when this
character whipped up on these two
cops? Probably out demonstrating over
some thug the cops had to beat down to
arrest.
That’s The Way I See It, Breck Porter

Bruce Milner
Continued from Page 1
no question that, even if I had my gun
drawn, aimed and cocked, he could have
shot me before I pulled the trigger. Had I
fired first, it would, under the law and the
department’s methods at the time, been
held to be justifiable homicide.
But I had not fired. Some officers told
me later than I was stupid and might have
been killed. Perhaps they were right.
There was no way for me to know that
this man had simply found the unloaded
pistol and wanted to turn it in to a police
officer. He told me that he had been
n ervo u s ab o ut h a vi n g it si nc e
discovering it the day before, and was
concerned that it might have been used
in a crime. He wanted me to take it and
turn it in.
My advantage that day was twofold: I
was lucky, and the radio microphone was
within easy reach (this was long before
portable radios became available).
Moreover, Park Patrolman Whitaker was
close by. Over the years, we have all
experienced those mornings when we
heard on the (good time) radio that
officers had been in a firefight, or that
one had been killed and left alone in the
street.
There were also several times when
things went differently. An alert officer
fired before the bad guy could kill him.
When the dust settled, the officer was
invariably shaken – none of us came on
the force having killed someone in
pe acet ime . Fo r ma ny years, litt le
concern was given to that officer, but the
event had a strong impact on his psyche
for the rest of his life.
Indeed, the HPD did not care about the
well-being of its officers much. If you shot
someone or someone shot you, it was
just part of the job. Be sure to make roll
call as soon as you can. It was not until
things went so bad in 1977 that we hired
our first Staff Psychologist, and it was
on ly beca use th e l egi slat ure to ld
TCLEOSE to require it. Within days of
hiring the first one, Greg Reide, his
appointment book was almost full.
Greg and I had a number of discussions
in the early days when his office was near
the station and we visited with John
Bales regularly. On one occasion, we
were talking about a recent incident in
which an officer was shot, apparently
because he hesitated to fire. As we all
know, police work is mostly boredom but
occasionally it is sheer terror – and most
of the time the terror comes without a
second to prepare for it.
Being the bashful person I am, I opined
that the department should take a careful
position on the handling of an officer after
such an event. I observed that three
outcomes could follow this incident: the
officer shrugs it off and moves on, the
officer fires much sooner next time
(perhaps not yet with justification), or the
officer, again fearful of being wrong,
hesitates and is shot by the bad guy. And
we all know how understanding the
department and media were when an
officer did something wrong.
A fellow member of the Houston Police
Officer’s Association, Mel Gideon ( now
Chief Deputy in the Gillespie County
Sheriff’s Department) provided me with
another view on this subject. He said
that, when he left HPD to take that job
some years ago, there were only five or
six deputies for the whole county. My son
Ed is a deputy in Jefferson County and
tells me there might be four on the street
on the night shift.
In June of 2006, all this came rushing
back to me when Ed suffered a shotgun
blast at close range. Ed has been a
deputy with the Jefferson County Sheriffs
Office since 2002, and has earned much
respect from law officers in that area.
One early morning he was the first to
a rriv e a t t he s c en e o f a f amil y
disturbance. Despite two calls to 911, he
had no other information about what
might be taking place.
Like Gillespie County, Jefferson County
has a lot of geography to cover and few
p eo pl e t o c ov er it . Und er th os e
circumstances, those on duty learn to
listen to each others calls and back each
other up without asking. In this case, two
deputies – one of them a very caring
supervisor, was no more than two
minutes behind Ed. It was sheer luck, in
that the three had met for breakfast just
before Ed got the call. The others gulped
down the rest and chose to back him up.
Arriving at the assigned address, Ed
walked to the front door, listened, heard
nothing, knocked, and observed a man
walking to the door with nothing in his
hands. Nonetheless, he stood to the side
of the doorway (no one trained me to do
that), which saved his life. As the door
opened, a double-00 shotgun round went
off, hit his chest, where the vest saved
him. The blast tore away some of Ed’s
inner left arm and some of the pellets
ricocheted off his vest and severed two
vital blood vessels in that arm. Ed
returned fire, reaching around the door
frame, and struck the assailant three
times. Rather than finish Ed off, which
he certainly could have, the shooter
chose to kill himself.
Ed made it to his car, broke the driver’s
door window to gain access to his rifle in
order to utilize its sling as a tourniquet.
Failing that, he got on the radio and
asked for an ambulance. He then picked
up his cell phone to tell his wife that he
was badly hurt and might not make it.
When the first backup arrived, the
dispatcher tapes show that less than two
minutes had gone by. Ed asked him to
get a flex-cuff and cinch it around his arm,
which probably saved is life and his arm.
Ed’s wife beat the helicopter carrying him
to the hospital, where dozens of caring
officers stood nearby, ready to help in any
way they could. Personally, I was deeply
moved by the outpouring of support when
we arrived a few hours later. There is a
“100 Club” for Jefferson and Hardin
Counti es, and, b y noon, th ey had
presented Ed’s wife a check for any
expe nse asso ciated with the long
recovery time. The Deputy Association
added another check. And one or both
of the organizations funded a round-trip
f li g ht f o r Ed’ s b ro t he r f ro m
Massachusetts, including transportation
and lodging.
Following that almost-fatal incident, Ed
came to the conclusion that cops have
to learn to be their own first responder.
We have to be prepared to act on our
own for an extended period of time before
Milner said he was planning legal
action to alter custody of the two children
b el o ng in g t o h i m a nd L e za .
Prior to the shooting, the children had
been at Milner’s house, and it was the
weekend they were to be returned to
Leza. Since she and Milner were not
supposed to be together, Milner’s mother
took the children to meet Leza at the
Country Store parking lot.
Claiming that he “just snapped when
he saw everybody there,” Milner told the
officers that he drove to where the two
vehicles were parked and got out of his
car.
He told officers that he had been
carrying a gun for protection because he
had been threatened in the past, possibly
by Leza’s new boyfriend.
Milner had the gun in his hand as he
go t ou t of th e ca r, h e s aid in h is
statement, and was making no attempt
to conceal it.
”He told us he saw his mother with the
two kids in the parking lot and told her to
move kids out of the way,” Rogers said.
According to Milner’s statement, when
he started shooting Leza, her mother
came from around the other side of the
van yelling at him as she ran away, and
Milner began shooting her in the back.
”We could tell there was a past history
between him and Debra, because when
her name came up he started getting
angry,” Rogers said.
”He told us he had a past case in Harris
County, in which Debra falsely accused
him of making threats, and that it had cost
his mother a lot of money. That case was
l at er di smi ss ed , ” Ro g ers a dd ed .
Milner told the officers that he saw Debra
go down, saw Leza lying behind the van,
a nd t h en s h ot L e za so me mo re .
The officers asked him how many more
times he shot Leza, and he replied he
thought it was four more times. When
they asked where he shot her this second
time, and from what range, he replied,
“in the head,” and “pretty much at point
blank range.”
”The whole incident was basically in
view of his mother and his two children,”
Rogers said, adding that Milner told them
he saw his kids crying and didn’t know
what to do, so he got into his car and left
the scene.
He told officers that after he took off
down SH 288 and the police started
chasing him, he wrecked his car and ran,
leaving the gun inside the vehicle.
He surrendered to the trooper “because
he knew he was caught and there was
no way he could get away,” Milner told
them.
According to his statement, Leza and
her new boyfriend had taken the children,
a 7-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl,
on a trip sometime earlier, and the
children had stayed in the same motel
room with the adults. Milner said he
was n’ t c omf orta b le wi th th at .
He also told officers that at one point in
his eight-year relationship with Leza, they
lived for a brief time with her mother on
the north side of Houston, and he “never
rea lly g ot a long” with the moth er.
He and Leza got a marriage license at
one time, but were never legally married,
a cc ord in g t o Mil ne r’s s t at e me nt .
In answer to questions he told officers
he understood what he had done, and
was prepared to face the consequences.
”At the end of the interview, when he was
alone and the tape recorder was running,
Milner just sat there, like he knew he had
no out, but he didn’t seem worried,”
Rogers commented. “Hostility to Debra
Sanchez was the only emotion he
showed.”
Rogers said that Sanchez, who
suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was
in an induced coma for about three
months.
Milner entered pleas of not guilty of
murdering Leza and of attempting to
murder her mother. During the trials his
defense lawyer elicited testimony from
witnesses in an effort to prove that Milner
was suffering from temporary insanity at
t he t i me of t h e s ho ot i ng s . Th e
i nv es ti ga to rs’ p la ye d b ac k ta pe d
interviews with Milner during each of the
two separate trials.
The jury in the murder case sentenced
him to 99 years in the prison. In a
separate trial for attempted murder, the
jury sentenced him to 70 years, and
a ss es s ed a fi n e o f $1 0 ,0 0 0 wa s
assessed in each case.
Today, Bruce Glenn Milner, Texas
prison inmate number 01389442, is
serving his time inside the Beto Unit near
Tennessee Colony, Texas in Anderson
County.
He will be eligible for his first parole
hearing on August 13, 2065.

Jack Cagney Ryan III
In February, Major Eric Nevelow and Captain B.J. Miller of the Galveston County
Sheriff’s Office, concluded an investigation into a burglary ring operating in Galveston
Count in the recovery of about $15,000.00 in stolen property and the arrest of three
suspects.
Jack Cagney Ryan III, 31 and Douglas Wayne Hippe, 22 of Hitchcock were
charged with Felony Theft. Ryan’s bond was set at $100,000.00 and Hippe’s at
$60,000.00. Marti Burrous Scates, 41 of LaMarque was charged with three counts
o f Fe l on y T he ft . He r bo n ds we re s e t at $5 ,0 0 0. 0 0 in ea ch ca se .
Investigators confirmed Scates was purchasing stolen electronics and guns after
an undercover officer sold Scates a stolen articles. Additional stolen guns, computers
and large screen plasma televisions were recovered at her home and place of
bu sin ess , Ann ie’ s R & E Lou nge on St ate High way 3 in La Ma rqu e.
Investigators with the Galveston County Auto Crimes Task Force, Santa Fe Police
Department, La Marque Police Department and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission assisted in the investigation.

reinforcements arrive. That means
having enough ammunition, raingear, a
first-aid kit – a tourniquet - just about
anything that might be necessary on
short notice.
As this is written, Ed is hoping that his
surgeon just may be able to make some
adjustments that might make the hand
operate properly. It will mean some
serious surgery, but he is determined that
he make the effort. In the meantime he
has busied himself by teaching classes
on various patrol issues.
A seasoned writer of police incidents
recently interviewed him and noted that
it was the first time anyone had pointed
out that each cop out there on the street
has to be his own first-responder while
still having to deal with any existing or
continued threat. Having experienced
that short period of time that seemed like
forever when he was bleeding profusely
and no one was around to help him, Ed
was determined to live. He has since
shared his experience with as many cops
who will listen – and chides those who
don’t wear their protective vest.
I hadn’t heard about a state program
which began just in 2006 to recognize
police and firefighters who are seriously
injured or killed while on duty. In the fall
of that year, the governor recognized a
number of maimed or dead heroes for
the first time. I had the profound privilege
of sitting with Ed on the floor of the House
of Representatives when they called him
to come forward - and to see Ed receive
his certificate from Governor Rick Perry.
While Ed had managed to get his
uniform on with his left arm in a sling,
others who were honored that day had
far more serious problems. And there
were a number of widows who came
forward to receive posthumous awards.
When I went through the HPD academy
in the fall of 1969 there was little mention
of the eventuality that many of us faced
whe n c on fro nt ed wi t h an arme d
individual. Most often there is no way to
Marti Burrous Scates
plan for it in advance, although a great
deal of training has been developed
since my days on the street.
Indeed, during my 22 years with the
department, there was no mandatory
training offered regarding what the
department expected us to do under
various circumstances in which we might
find ourselves in danger. Even when
some officers made the wrong decision
and shot unarmed people, there was
silence from the command staff regarding
what should have been done. As far as
we knew, these officers had done the
right thing.
I will never forget the time (years later)
when it became clear to me that a person
near you with a gun or knife can hurt or
kill you before you can respond. It was a
chilling realization. Ed tells me it’s the
21-foot rule: if someone has a knife within
that distance they can probably do you
harm before you can defend yourself.
And if you point your cocked pistol at a
person who is close enough to knock it
from your hand, they will succeed even
though you know they are going to try. I
wish the news media would participate
in such a demonstration.
Back in the 1970s members of the Harris
County grand juries were strongly invited
to ride with patrol officers, mostly during
hours of darkness. The program was
very successful, in that it gave the jurors
an insight into the dangers officers face
– often with little or no warning.
Above all, a couple of those jurors told
me they felt scared while riding in the
police car just because it tends to
become a target. They also came to
quickly understand the uncertainty that
surrounds a traffic stop. It would be nice
to see all law enforcement agencies host
such programs.

Greetings Galveston County! Please
allow me a moment to introduce myself.
My name is Joey Schoppe and I am the
Volunteer Coordinator for the Resource
and Crisis Center of Galveston County.
My goal every day, week, month, etc is
to find and place volunteers to help our
agency stay faithful and true to those in
our communi ty who n eed us. Our
mission, to promote the safety and
wellbeing of women, men, children and
f amil i es an d t o ad v oc at e f o r th e
prevention of domestic violence and
sexual assault, is something our agency
does not take lightly. If you have ever
volunteered for our agency or worked
with us, you know how personally each
individual person takes that statement
and how seriously this agency works to
uphold it and to walk it day to day.
Now, if you find yourself saying, “I believe
in this statement, but I no extra time to
volunteer between my family, school and
my two job s. Are t here any oth er
opportunities for me to share in holding
Galveston County accountable for
making this mission statement a reality?”
Yes.
1) You can donate old cell phones and
ink cartages. We work closely with an
agency called Shelter Alliance and they
pay us for recycling old cell phones
through them. When we send in cell
phones, they reuse anything they can
and they send us a check for the reusable
items. It is a very successful fund raiser
for us. We accept any and all old cell
phones.
2) You can buy our Pins By Lucinda.
Lucinda was a homeless woman, but
with the help of her local resource center,
she got back up on her feet and now
makes pins for local non-profit agencies
as a fund raiser. They are all very unique
and stylish. No two are the same, as they
are all hand made. One would look great
on that lapel.
3) You can donate any number of items
on our wish list. Visit our web site at
www.rccgc.org and check out the How
You Can Help tab to view our Wish List.
Our shelter and various other clients use
these things all the time and we are in
c on st a nt n e ed o f rep l en is h me nt .
4) You can donate to our thrift stores.
We have three locations: Galveston ,
Texas City and League City . If you have
a very large donation to make, like a
sleeper sofa or a dining room set, you
can call (409) 762-1520 to schedule a
donation pick-up. That’s right: we’ll come
to you! Any clients who need anything
from our thrift stores get their items free
of charge.
5) You can make a monetary donation.
If you would like to donate money to the
Resource and Crisis Center, you can
make checks payable to Resource and
Crisis Center. Checks may be mailed to:
RCC C/O Funds Department, P.O. Box
1545, Galveston, TX 77553. We are now
accepting Pay Pal donations, also. You
can visit our website for more details.
6) You can volunteer! If you do want to
donate your most precious commodity,
your time, you can call me at or email
me at [email protected]. I thank you
in advance as any volunteer is absolutely
priceless.
I want to thank you for allowing me the
time to share with you a few ways you
can improve our community. If you have
any questions about how any of these
choices operate within our agency,
please don’t hesitate to contact me at
(409) 763-1441.
With your help, we can put an end to
domestic violence and sexual assault in
Galveston County.

BEAUMONT - A fugitive on the run since
2005 was captured in the Beaumont area
in February by a Galveston County
Sheriff’s deputy.
Sergeant Bill Collins, of the Gulf Coast
Violent Offenders Task Force, arrested
45-year old Robert Harlan Johnson after
receiving one of several tips that Johnson
was in that area.
Johnson had been on the Galveston

told him who I was and why we were
there and he surrendered without any
problem
Johnson was being held without bail
