Chiefs player indicted 31 indicted in cocaine case
United Press International
WICHITA — A $3 million, yearlong investigation into illegal drug activity resulted yesterday in the indictments of 31 people, including defensive end Mike Bell of the Kansas City Chiefs. Also indicated was the halfbrother of a Kansas Supreme Court justice.
A federal grand jury meeting the past two days in Wichita returned the 48-count indictment.
Mike Bell, 28, Overland Park, was arrested at 11:20 a.m. at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., by agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI.
He is charged with use of a communications facility to distribute cocaine and attempted possession of cocaine. The first charge carries a maximum penalty of 4 years in prison and a $30,000 fine. The second charge could result in a 1 year imprisonment and a $5,000 fine.
Also indicted was Bell's - twin brother, Mark, a former professional football player. He is charged with the same offenses.
Mark Bell, a Wichita resident, has played defensive end for several NFL teams, most recently with the Indianapolis Colts. He is no longer with the team.
Mike Bell, also a Wichita native,
made his initial court appearance
yesterday before Magistrate Gerald
L. Rushfit. Rushfit set bond at
$5,000, which Bell paid. His next
court appearance is set in Wichita
federal court Nov. 27.
The U.S. Attorney for Kansas, Benjamin Burgess Jr., yesterday said the indictments stemmed from a big drug investigation conducted by local, state and federal authorities. Wichita was one of eight cities the federal government targeted for investigation.
Members of the business community and some Wichita residents involved with nightclubs also were charged. In addition, state warrants were issued for 16 people Tuesday in connection with gambling and cocaine charges.
Coleman Lockett, half brother of Kansas Supreme Court Justice Tyler Lockett, was charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and distributing cocaine.
Another person indicted was James Walker, a former Chiefs player.
Wichita Police Department and Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department, in conjunction with the FBI, DEA, Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The Kansas Narcotics Task Force investigation was conducted by the
"I am pleased with the results today, but it's not enough," said Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon. "We have identified others who deal in drugs within our city. To them I simply say, 'We will get you, if not today, tomorrow. If not tomorrow, in the future.' We are committed to this goal and we have coordinated all available legal resources to accomplish it."
Sedgwick County Sheriff Mike Hill said that as a result of the investigation, the sheriff's department, the Wichita Police Department and the KBI have entered into a written agreement with the DEA to establish a permanent drug task force for the Wichita-Sedgwick County area.
Hill and LaMunyon said the city and county together spent about $1 million to conduct the investigation. He said 78 full-time officers were involved in the investigation, and 120 officers were used yesterday to round up the indicted.
Bills would let WU enter state system
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Washburn University of Topeka would be allowed to join the state university system in July 1987 under the terms of two proposals that a special legislative committee has voted to introduce in the 1986 Kansas Legislature.
One of the bills, which the Special Committee on Washburn University voted to introduce Tuesday, would allow the municipal school to join with six present state universities under the control of the State Board of Regents with no particular strings attached.
The second measure would carry out a plan proposed by House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, which calls for Washburn's entry into the state system if Shawne County voters approve a half-cent local sales tax. The tax would raise an estimated $7.9 million to support the school in place of the current 15-mill property tax in Topeka.
Hayden's plan also would limit future enrollment of freshmen at Washburn to the number of freshmen who enroll for the fall of
1986, and freeze tuition at levels in effect during the fall 1986 semester.
The panel approved introduction of the legislation that would allow Washburn's unconditional admission to the state system on a 4-2 vote while Hayden's proposal received a 3-2 vote.
Hayden acknowledged that the decision to have legislation introduced that would carry out his ideas did not constitute an endorsement of the plan by the committee.
The committee defeated, 3-2, a proposal offered by Senate Minority Leader Mike Johnston, D-Parsons, which called for imposition of a half-cent countywide sales tax to be used in place of the Topeka property tax but not for admitting Washburn as a state institution.
Rep. Bill Bunten, R-Topeka, a member of the committee and a prime backer of efforts to make Washburn a state school, said he would support a bill that substituted a local sales tax for the property tax, even if it did not provide for taking the school into the state system.
