suspects left credit card trail The Associated Press YACOLT, Clark County Two teenagers and a man from California wanted for questioning in a California murder were arrested Friday after Clark County sheriff's deputies fired a stun grenade during a raid on a makeshift camp in the forest, authorities said. A Vancouver man also was arrested for questioning about a car and credit cards stolen from the murder victim, Leroy Williams, 36, a special education teacher for the Stockton United School District in California. Williams' body was spotted by a fisherman Thursday morning near a levee along the San Joaquin River in San Joaquin County. Williams, who was last seen alive Aug. 19 at his home in Stockton, had been shot seven times in the chest and once in the hand, said Kenneth Wagner, commander of the San Joaquin County sheriff's investigations unit.
Authorities said credit cards belonging to Williams were used in a path northward to Vancouver, where several purchases of gasoline were made. AP Laserphoto Elvin Rush, 16, was held in Vancouver, Friday for questioning in the murder of a California man. The victim's wallet' and car were found at the arrest site, Clark County deputies said. The car was rigged with at least two "trip-wire" alarms set to go off if anyone tampered with the vehicle. The arrests were made at 8 a.m.
Friday, hours after a team of 11 officers arrived. The first suspect was captured in a tent, and the three others were in a lean-to shelter, deputies said. Deputies said they ordered the three to surrender and fired the grenade when it appeared the trio were trying to barricade themselves. Authorities said three weapons two rifles and one handgun were hanging on the shelter wall but were not used. Arrested for questioning in the murder case were Richard Ray Sheehan, 28; Elvin Eugene Rush, 16; and Marvin Dean Baker, 16, all of the Stockton area.
Also arrested was Laryn Wayne Grovom, 26, of Vancouver, who was wanted in connection with the stolen car and credit cards. Sheriff Fran Kanekoa said Rush and Baker were taken to the juvenile detention center, while the other two were taken to the Clark County Jail. Sulu, McCoy among space fans in Spokane for annual Tre st SPOKANE Dr. McCoy, Mr. Sulu and Lt.
Uhura will join more than 3,000 Star Trek fans from throughout the country as they gather Saturday to reminisce about Klingons, warp drives and the trouble with tribbles. The trekkies are gathering at Star Trek 20, a three-day convention that began Friday night in the Spokane Valley. Gene Roddenberry, who created the series that first aired on NBC in 1966, is scheduled to speak to fans and screen The Cage, the show's 1966 pilot, as well as a short film of bloopers from the series, said convention organizer Larry Fury, of Sandpoint, Idaho. The convention, hosted by a Coeur d'Alene, Idaho group called Nine World Enterprises, runs through Sunday evening. The stellar guest list includes DeForest Kelley, who played the irascible Dr.
"Bones" McCoy, George Takei (Mr. Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel) and Mark Lenard (Spock's Vulcan father, Sarek). Joining the cast members will be science fiction artist William Warren Stephen Goldin, author of Trek to Madworld, and David Gerrold, creator of the classic "Trouble with Tribbles" episode. Videos of all three Star Trek movies and most of the 79 television episodes will be screened, as well as a few of the Star Trek Saturday-morning cartoons produced in the mid-1970s.
Fury said dealers will be selling Star Trek memorabilia. An exhibition of art inspired by the series and a mock transporter room also will be displayed, he said. But Fury said the best part about the convention may be when fans just talk about the series. "It was an optimistic show that told about an optimistic future," he said. "Everybody got along you had a white captain, an alien first officer, a black and an Oriental on board, and even a Russian.
It was an island of intelligence in a network wasteland." Fans at the Star Trek conventions often dress up not only as Enterprise crew members but also as Klingons, the enemies of the Federation, or the blueskinned Andorians.
