The Tampa Tribune from Tampa, Florida • 133

30 July 24, 1987 The Tampa Tribune 11-B FLORIDA Ex-top trooper kept X-rated videotapes he seized PENSACOLA (AP) A Florida Highway Patrol trooper who has been praised for his ability to detect drug violators seized at least two X- rated 1 videotapes from a vehicle and didn't return them until the owner contacted the patrol, a state official has confirmed. The seizure occurred earlier this year and was just one in a string of incidents to which Trooper Barney Stallworth, who was named Trooper of the Year in 1986, has been linked. No charges were filed and no report was written because the owner of the tapes did not want to file a complaint, Maj. Charles Hall, spokesman for the patrol, told the. Pensacola News Journal in a story published Thursday.

The tapes belonged to a movie rental store and were being transported to or from convenience stores in 1 Alabama, authorities said. Stallworth, nicknamed "The for his ability to sniff out drug violators, said he stopped the vehicle because the driver appeared to be under age. Capt. Ed Sapp, district commander for the patrol in Pensacola, said Stallworth told him everything had been settled satisfactorily with the owner of the tapes after the owner contacted the patrol in January or February. Sapp said a written and signed complaint has to be made before investigations can be conducted, according to an agreement between the state of Florida and the Florida Developer says official biased against project FORT GEORGE ISLAND (AP) A statement by Attorney General Bob Butterworth that he would do everything in his power to have Fort George Island preserved as a state or federal park has angered a developer who wants to build a $200 million housing complex on the Northeast Florida island.

Officials of Fairfield Communities Inc. have asked Gov. Bob Martinez to stop Butterworth from issuing a ruling on the development because of his apparent bias against the project. Martinez's office has not responsed to the request. Fairfield is hoping to build 1,343 housing units on 758 acres of the island north of Jacksonville, a plan that has been opposed vigorously by environmentalists.

The Jacksonville City Planning Department asked Butterworth Tuesday to issue an advisory opinion concerning whether the Fairfield project is still a development of regional impact, which would require state review. Fairfield officials contend the project is no longer subject to state review because state planning laws have changed since the development was proposed.

In another case, Stallworth faces a two-week suspension without pay at the end of August for seizing jewelry from a motorist after searching her vehicle. Stallworth did not give the woman a receipt for the jewelry, valued by its owner at $65,000, nor did he file a report on the incident.

Patrol officials said they were unaware of the seizure until they were contacted by the owner requesting that her jewelry be returned. The seizure occurred in November 1986, but Stallworth didn't acknowledge the seizure until April 10, the newspaper reported. A disciplinary review board had Bob Butterworth's vow to preserve Fort George Island has angered a housing developer. committee secretary Tom Pelham was once an attorney for Fairfield. "It should go to a neutral factfinder," said Hyde.

Deputy Attorney General Jim York said Butterworth's office had not received the request from the city asking for the advisory opinion. Once it is received, they will decide whether it meets the criteria for issuing an opinion. York said there is nothing wrong with Butterworth's desire to see the island preserved, adding that the attorney general's personal biases do not enter into opinions. "He issues an opinion based on the courts," York said. The request for the opinion came after Fairfield asked that the control of the development be shifted from the state to the city.

Hyde said the request was made because Fairfield was encountering too many challenges from environmentalists at the state level.

MILLER, Gilbert 81, of Tam- recommended Stallworth be fired, but officials in Tallahassee overturned the suggestion, saying that Stallworth had a good work record.

He has been assigned routine patrol duties. Patrol officials say Stallworth also seized $1,650 on March 29 after stopping a car for "displaying a tag in a careless manner." Stallworth, according to the report, issued the driver a receipt for the money but did not follow regulations and take the money to the property room. He told investigators he put the money in the trunk of his car and put a copy of the receipt on a sergeant's desk. The sergeant, however, told investigators he did not see the receipt until 17 days lat- er. The report also said that after a South Florida attorney contacted Stallworth about getting the money returned, the trooper bought a cashier's check on April 3 from Florida National Bank.

He deducted the price of the check from the $1,650. Maj. Jimmy C. Wright, Panama City FHP troop commander, signed a disciplinary review board recommendation on June 15 that Stallworth be suspended for three days because of the $1,650 incident. But, on June 19, Wright wrote to FHP Col.

Bobby Burkett and reversed his recommendation, saying he believed Stallworth only intended to "short-cut the required reporting procedure." Barney Stallworth has been linked to a series of incidents involving seized items. Radio tirade prompts outcry supporting anti-bilingual law The request for the opinion comes as the Jacksonville City Council is considering an ordinance that would strip the state's planning jurisdiction over the controversial development and turn it over to the local planning authority. The action, if approved, would allow Fairfield to sidestep state administrative challenges to develop and perhaps begin building later this year. Bill Hyde, a Tallahassee attorney representing Fairfield, requested Wednesday that Butterworth be removed from the case, based upon the statements the attorney general made earlier this week about wanting to preserve the island. "What I'm concerned about is a fair hearing.

There is a conflict of interest. Often times it's an appearance of bias. We want to remove even the slightest hint of bias," Hyde said. Hyde suggested Tallahassee lawyer John Radley be appointed to handle the case. He was appointed earlier by Martinez to handle legal and policy decisions for the Department of Community Affairs in the Fairfield development.

The governor removed the department from the case because bearers include: Thomas Gucciardo, Brother Castenzio Manuel Perez, III, Dr. Jack Guggino, Dr. J.P. Anello, and Dr. Conrad Ferlita.

Funeral Notices are paid. MIAMI (UPI) A popular radio talk show host, angered by an effort to repeal an anti-bilingual law, prompted hundreds of listeners Thursday to flood the county commissioners with telephoned protests against the campaign. Neil Rogers, midday host on WINZ-AM, during his broadcasts Thursday and Wednesday complained of Cubans "taking over" Miami, and later called the sponsor of the campaign "an idiot." When Rogers read out the commissioners' office numbers, urging his listeners to lodge their complaints, the switchboards were swamped. Spokesmen for the commissioners said the offices received 650 phone calls in three hours on Wednesday, and hundreds more Thursday. Ninety percent of the calls were in favor of letting the ordinance stand.

At issue is a referendum, planned for the March 8, 1988, presidential primary ballot, that would repeal a 1980 law requiring all county business to be conducted in English. A 1984 amendment relaxed some sections of the law, allowing the county to use languages other than English when public health and safety are involved. Earlier this week, the Metro-Dade Commission adopted a proposal by Commissioner Jorge Valdes to place the referendum on the ballot after a public hearing Sept. 1. When Valdes phoned the Rogers show Wednesday to explain his views, Rogers promptly hung up on him, calling the commissioner an "idiot." On Thursday, he made repeated derogatary comments about Valdes and about Hispanics.

After his broadcast Thursday, Rogers said he was "delirious" by the listener response. "This is the only way to get (the commissioners') attention by bombarding them and saying 'that's enough' to their nonsense," Rogers said. Valdes said he has received hundreds of calls at his home and in his office. He described most of the call as threats. "My secretaries are afraid to answer the phone," the commissioner said.

"(People) are calling my house, saying things I can't even tell you. I can't see how (Rogers) could do that to me as a human being with a family. "The way he speaks, it looks like I am trying to impose bilingualism in Dade County. I think it's time for us to reconsider (the English-only ordinance). When I called him yesterday, trying to explain, he hung up on me.

He didn't even give me the courtesy of expressing my point of view." Actor Richard Egan dies at 65 A New York Times Report Richard Egan, known for his roles as a tough leading man, in action films and westerns, died of prostate cancer Monday at St. John's Cancer Center in Santa Monica, Calif.
