Eleven alleged white supremacist gang members heard Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Roomberg tell prospective jurors Monday they manufactured and trafficked methamphetamines at 16 different addresses -- houses, mobile homes and motels -- in and around Odessa and Midland over more than three years before their March indictments and arrests.
Eighty-eight veniremen were summoned to U.S. District Court on the third floor of George Mahon Federal Building for what Judge Robert Junell said will be a three-week trial of the alleged "Aryan Circle" members and associates.
Roomberg, fellow prosecutor Glenn Roque-Jackson and a panoply of defense lawyers agreed on 12 jurors and four alternates at 3 p.m., and Junell said testimony would begin at 9 a.m. today. Junell had placed a "gag order" on all the attorneys to prevent their providing information about the defendants or trial before it is concluded, the lawyers said.
Eighteen defendants have pleaded guilty to charges ranging from conspiracy and making and selling the narcotic to "operating a continuing criminal enterprise," which can result in prison terms from 10 years to life.
Some of them will testify against their former associates, prosecutors said.
"On Aug. 4, 2003, Charles 'Killer" Samson and Johnny Wayne Hines Sr. conducted a 'Smash on Sight' on Jerry Dean Perkins," said Roomberg. "That is to say, they assaulted Perkins at his residence at 8500 Bill Road because of disputes involving the manufacture of methamphetamines for the Aryan Circle."
Samson, the alleged "district captain" of the gang, went on trial with "sergeants" Victor Wesley "Pokey" Tucker, Malachi David Wren and Michael Curtis "Bones" Lewis, who Roomberg said were the other top-ranking members of the gang.
They're being tried with alleged underlings Shane "Buffy" Samson, Donnie Thompson, Buddy Ford, Jerry Wayne Beason, Andrew "Snyder John" Criswell, Michael Norris "Mikey" Martin and Leonard "Radar" Griffith.
Defense lawyers are Sandy Torres of Midland for Samson, Justin Weatherly of Odessa for Tucker, Kirk Meade of Alpine for Wren and Frank McCallum of Midland for Lewis.
Others are Robert Garcia of Odessa for Shane Samson, Dusty Gallivan of Odessa for Thompson, Rod Ponton of Alpine for Ford, Carolyn Thurmond of Midland for Beason, Richard Alvarado of Midland for Criswell, David Rogers of Midland for Martin and Steve Spurgin of Marfa for Griffith.
Roomberg said the male gang members have been tattooed with a circle that has "AC" in it and "a swastika inside a diamond-shaped box falling backwards." He said women members, some of whom will testify, have the same circle tattoo "with a sword standing behind the circle with double lightning bolts in the hilt."
Roomberg said they committed drug-related offenses, including the manufacture and sale of more than 33 pounds of the stimulant, at Odessa addresses including room 106 at 6713 East Highway 80; 2900 block of Pleasant Drive; room 117 at 3031 East 80; 4600 Angus St.; 9834 W. 23rd St., room 9 at 109 E. VFW Lane, 8402 W. University Blvd., 9000 block of W. University Blvd., 834 Ave. H, room 517 at 3071 E. 80; room 43 at 4600 Oakwood Drive: the 3600 block of N. Adams Road;11010 W. Chaparral Drive; 2505 E. Second St., 8500 Bill Road and South Cotton Flat Road south of Midland.
