Friday, October 21, 1988 The Arizona Republic F7 Scaled-back expansion OK'd for Pointe resort Report says wife told police Collins threatened her with gun while Collins was talking to her on a telephone in his car, which was parked outside the house. She said she thought he carried a shotgun in the trunk of his car. According to the heavily edited report, in which all names are deleted, officers were sent to Collins' northeast home shortly after midnight Saturday with a warning that there was a "subject threatening with a gun." The report was written by Officer Richard Potter, who was the first policeman on the scene. The Arizona Republic, in a Thursday story, incorrectly said the report had been prepared by police Capt. James Green.

By Randy Collier The Arizona Republic 'A, Phoenix police report released Thursday shows that the estranged wife of Maricopa County Attorney Tom Collins called police last weekend-saying he was threatening her with a gun. But told police at the time and insisted again Thursday that the gun was locked in the trunk of his car and that he only went to the house to "save our marriage." Collins' wife, Karen Kothe, an assistant U.S. attorney, told officers she iievcr saw a weapon but said she heard what she thought was a shell being placed into a shotgun's chamber efforts to keep down the amount of office space and to lower the height of the buildings. Adams said any more square footage or height would allow Gosnell to build at the same intensity as village cores, such as the Camelback East Village core at 24th Street and Camelback. "We've directed especially with Esplanade, (a project under construction at 24th and Camelback) that density belongs in the cores," Adams said.

"There's some feeling up here on the council, feelings of nervousness, that you're creating a subcore." Although some neighbors opposed the overall plan as too intensive, a few supported it, saying that a master plan for the area was better than the "piecemeal" development that has sprung up in the area. Neighbor Noelle Baker described existing development on 16th Street as "a string of little ugly office buildings placed up against the curb." Neighbor David Gironda applauded the council's decision to keep building heights to three stories and to turn down Gosnell's request for office space beyond what already was approved on the site. Controversy has dogged the case since Gosnell proposed it in 1987. At that time, the company requested building heights of up to nine stories and the designation of the area surrounding the Pointe at Squaw Peak as a "secondary core." Potter said that when he arrived, he found Collins sitting near the front door. Potter said he asked Collins if he was armed, and the county attorney replied that he was not.

Potter searched Collins, according to the report, and found no weapon. Before the search, Collins displayed a badge and identified himself, the officer said. County prosecutors carry badges that identify them as working for that office. When the officer asked Collins to step out to the street and explain what had happened, Collins replied, "This is my god damn house, and I don't have to step out to the road," the report says. Collins then claimed Kothe was inside with another man, the report states.

Blacked out, however, is the person's identity. Potter said in the report that while he was talking to Kothe inside the house, Collins walked through the front door and confronted the other person. Potter said Collins then was persuaded to leave the house. After going outside to his car, Collins told Potter that there was a weapon in the trunk but that he had not carried it or displayed it during the confrontation, the officer wrote. Collins said Thursday he went to the house to confront his wife about her dating other men.

He said there was a man at the house when he arrived, but he declined to identify him. The prosecutor acknowledged that he owns a shotgun but said it has been Phone firms in Detroit out $300,000 in fraud similar to Tucson setup Tom Collins "I didn't want that gun to become an issue, so I deliberately locked it in the trunk." at his apartment since he moved out of his home three weeks ago. He said he carries a 9mm pistol in the car because "my life gets threatened semiregularly because I sign 20,000 criminal complaints a year." Officer Andy Hill, a Phoenix police spokesman, said Thursday that officers at the house considered Collins' behavior "threatening." Hill said the report was made public after Republic and Phoenix Gazette reporters made formal requests under the state's public-records law to see the document. Thursday's story incorrectly said the report had been "slipped" to a Gazette reporter. Kothe said she and Collins, who were married in 1984, had been having marital problems for about a year.

journalist, writer, radio network ex-president By John Winters The Arizona Republic -Lebanese nationals in the Detroit area have cheated long-distance telephone companies out of as much as $300,000 in unpaid phone bills in a scheme similar to an operation under investigation in Arizona, a federal hw-enforccmcnt official says. Richard Stokes, assistant special agent in charge of the federal Secret Service in Detroit, said he was unsure whether the operation in that city was related to one in Tucson that is under investigation by the Arizona attorney general's office and long-distance carrier security officials. "'An operation similar to those in Tucson and Detroit cost long-distance carriers in New England about $300,000 earlier this year, a Boston investigator said this week. Telephone-company security officials have declined to disclose losses in the Tucson operation, but an official for one of the carriers said it was "substantial." The Lebanese nationals arc believed to have profited from the operation by charging people a fee for placing the calls. They were able to escape detection because of delays of up to three months in billing their calls, which were made to many countries and sometimes involved more than one long-distance carrier.

In the Detroit case, operatives were patching calls through from Lebanon to' other destinations and originating calls themselves, Stokes said. Through random dialing or by use of computers, the operatives discover long-distance numbers they can call out on, then charge people a $10 fee for use of the lines, he said. During a period of a few hours, a computer will identify several numbers ihc operatives can use to charge By Dee J. Hall The Arizona Republic A scaled-down plan to expand the Pointe Resort at Squaw Peak at 16th Street and Northern Avenue has been approved by the Phoenix City Council over the objections of some neighbors, who say the plan has not been scaled down enough. The council voted unanimously late Wednesday to approve the plan after forcing the developer to reduce the project's size so it would not become another urban commercial core.

But Stephen Earl, an attorney for Gosnell Bj'lders, complained that the 91 -acre project has been scaled down so much that the project no longer may be financially feasible. Under the plan the council approved, the Pointe project would include 926,000 square feet of office space, 300 apartments, a 338-room resort, a health club and 141,000 square feet of retail space. Buildings throughout the 91 -acre site would range from one to three stories to abide by neighbors' wishes that the structures not block surrounding mountain views. Because of a legal quirk, Wednesday's vote will not be official until the council votes a second time on the project in the coming weeks. No major changes will have been made to the plan, however, when it returns for a final vote, council members said.

Councilman Howard Adams, who represents the area, led the council's cancer. He was 73. Mr. Livingston, president of Livingston Holdings founded the Tillsonburg Livingston basketball squad that played at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland. The team also formed part of.

An estimated 300 or 400 calls a day were being placed by the operatives in the Detroit area during the peak period of the scam last summer, Stokes said. He did not identify the telephone companies victimized. Authorities were unable to file any charges, he said, because in this type of scheme, the calls are billed to a calling-card number, not the person making them, and the only way to identify the caller would be through electronic eavesdropping, which requires a court order. By the time an order is obtained, the operation generally has folded and moved elsewhere, he noted. The Secret Service, better known for its protection of U.S.

officials and efforts against counterfeiters, was given jurisdiction in certain telecommunications-fraud cases in 1985 and has become heavily involved in law enforcement in that area. A Lebanese citizen has been charged with fraud and theft in the Tucson operation. The man, identified as Camilc Bou'Nasser, 27, fled Tucson and his whereabouts is unknown, said John Evans, an assistant state attorney general. Last summer, Bou'Nasser patched hundreds of phone calls from Beirut through the phone in his apartment in southeast Tucson to destinations in the United States, Europe and Australia, Evans said. A delay of as long as three months in billing for such calls allowed him to keep from paying the bill despite the volume of calls he was making, phone-company security officios say.

Mucho said investigators are attempting to determine whether Jackson experienced problems after leaving Oak Creek Canyon and cut the flight short. The airplane had left Sedona Airport shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday en route to the Grand Canyon, he said.

Witnesses at a scenic overlook north of Oak Creek Canyon told authorities that the plane appeared to be operating normally as it left the canyon. But minutes later, other witnesses said the plane was flying at trcctop level and the engine was stalling as fuel came out of one of the tanks. Jackson apparently tried to make an emergency landing on U.S. 89A. But heavy traffic seems to have caused the airplane to veer from the highway, where it struck a guardrail and caromed into a thicket of trees near the bank of Oak Creek 10 miles north of Sedona.

Webber Sons Mortuary. By Mark Shaffer Northern Arizona Bureau FLAGSTAFF Mechanical problems were found in the engine of an airplttnc that crashed Sunday in Oak Creek Canyon and killed five people, a federal investigator said Thursday. Gary Mucho, regional director for the National Transportation Safety Board in Los Angeles, said he could discuss specific problems in the siilglt-cnginc Piper because the investigation is continuing and a preliminary report has not been prepared. But Mucho said that evidence of "maintenance deficiencies" had been found by safety-board officials who sorted through the wreckage and that there was a possibility the airplane hadiproblcms in either its fuel system or fuel. Witnesses to the crash, which occurred in a heavily wooded area between U.S.

89A and Oak Creek, said Jhcy saw fuel coming out of the airplane's left tank just before it crashed. Mucho said he could not comment on; Whether pilot error may have been a factor in the crash. He also refused to speculate on whether the airplane was in condition to fly. The safety board's preliminary report is expected to be completed next week, Mucho said.
