The complaint filed by the DEA charged the trio with knowingly and intentionally possessing with intent to distribute 132.8 ounces of the heroin. The undercover agents in their negotiations reported the trio was asking $1,200 per ounce. An El Paso police woman, according to the complaint filed in the magistrate's court, took prominent part in the negotiations. In open court, the trio admitted they have been under methadone treatment for more than a year. A date for the formal arraignment will be set Thursday.

Undercover negotiations by agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration and El Paso police task force Tuesday resulted in the arrest of three persons and the seizure of approximately five ounces of Mexican brown heroin. Taken into custody while reportedly making delivery of the drug to the agents at an East Montana shopping were Gayleen Smith, 23, of 5336 Annette, and two male companions identified as Roberto Antonio Resendez, 41, of 3900 Lincoln, and Francisco Ramirez Chavez, 39, a resident of Juarez.

"I made it clear to Adrian Baca that he would be given reasonable time to make his statement and ask his questions," Windle wrote. In a copy of the memo obtained by The Times, the words "reasonable time" were in quotation marks. Windle further noted that Baca said he "would not be satisfied with this arrangement." Baca said Windle told him that by law Texas cities are not allowed to delegate authority, a point to which Anthony's city attorney agreed. "I do not ask for a vote, nor do I even ask to be seated with the El Paso regulatory body," Baca said. "I merely ask that if I participate, that I would do so only if these hearings were to be held in an open and frank discussion with an opportunity for me, at the time the parliamentarian would allow, either before or after his own regulatory body, to ask questions that Anthony has." Baca said he has amassed a considerable amount of information during his eight-month-long investigation of the electric company, particularly concerning the company's nuclear plant participation and its rate structures.

He said if El Paso city officials would allow him sufficient time during the upcoming hearings, "perhaps I could add a small bit in getting all the information necessary to make the right decisions for all of us for the good of our constituents and citizens in the entire service area of El Paso Electric." Keeping foremost in mind the protection of the consumer, while allowing "a healthy and reasonable" rate of return to the electric company, Baca said "politics should not play a part in these hearings." Anthony's third-term mayor said he is still willing to cooperate with Mayor Henderson "and his fine council" in any manner "whatsoever that can accommodate me and my conditions."

"The conditions under which I would be allowed to question witnesses are so restrictive that my participation would be ineffectual," Baca stated in a press release.

"This information is so technical and so complicated that it would be less than satisfactory to go in for a few moments, make a statement, ask some questions and have to rest, or, at least, be stilled on my inquisitiveness on areas where I would feel that the electric company should be drilled," Baca said. During what Baca described as a "champagne breakfast" with Windle on April 3, a copy of a memo Windle allegedly wrote to Henderson contained the following statements: "I have invited Adrian Baca to make a statement and ask questions at our hearings. When called upon for that purpose, I mentioned that he would not be permitted to participate in the area where the LUNCH OINNER COCKTAILS OPEN DAILY Marsh, Michael Marsh and Estelle Marsh, Wallington, Roy said.
