Tuesday, December 19, 1989 OZARKS The News- Leader of Ozarks robberies blamed on holiday need FROM PAGE 1B threatened a store employee with death when she tried to flee. "I'm serious. I want all the money," the man told the three employ. ees inside the general store. That's according to Greene County sheriff's patrolman Bill Harp, who investigated the robbery.
"The suspect was carrying a roll of gray duct tape, and when he placed it on the desk, one of the ladies jumped up and tried to run for the door," Harp said. "He made a threat to shoot her, and when she got to the door, he said he would kill her if she ran." Harp said the man got away with an undetermined amount of cash, but not before uttering: "My kids will have Christmas." The robber is 6-foot, 2-inches tall, with a slender build and a full, black beard. He fled the area in a gray vehicle with yellow, out-of-state license plates. And in Stone County, authorities searched late Monday for two men who robbed a Notch restaurant owner of $300 to $400 in cash Sunday night. Henry Stieben told authorities two men entered his trailer and robbed him at gunpoint about 11:30 p.m., a Stone County sheriff's deputy said.
Using duct tape, the two men bound Stieben's wrists to the arms of a chair during the robbery which occurred behind his restaurant, Rangler Country Restaurant, on Missouri 76 near Silver Dollar City, the deputy said. After the men left, Stieben freed himself and sought help from Wooden Nickel Restaurant employees across the street, the deputy said. Authorities determined the robbers' vehicle was parked across the highway from Stieben's restaurant and had been left running during the robbery, the deputy said. Two sets of footprints in the snow led authorities from Stieben's trailer to the spot where the vehicle had been waiting, the deputy said. Authorities gave no description of the suspects or their vehicle.
No one was injured in any of the incidents, authorities said. October through December is typically the heaviest period for Springfield armed robberies, accounting for 40 percent of the 68 holdups reported so far this year, police Lt. Darrell Crick said. The holidays are to blame for that increase, Crick said. "It's a sad thing, but every man wants to provide for his family.
They're usually doing it this time of year for Suspect descriptions as of late have been lacking, and Crick said police often have little evidence to go on. However, efforts are being made to patrol hard-hit locations more frequently. 1.

Clark said.
Turpin, 30, of Canton, Ohio, and Williams, 24, Detroit, were indicted by a federal grand jury in Spring. field on Sept. 12. They are charged with two counts of possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of a substance containing cocaine base. Turpin's first federal court trial for crack possession ended in a mistrial in July when the 11 jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict after three hours of deliberation.
Williams was not charged on the indictment that preceded that trial, but he was implicated in testimony concerning his and Turpin's arrest. They and three other Detroit men were taken into custody Feb. 24 in connection with the discovery of $4,700 cash and about 150 grams of crack hidden in a briefcase beneath a bed at Holiday Inn North, 2720 N. Glenstone Ave. Testimony on Monday indicated that three weeks before the Springfield arrests, Williams was arrested at the Detroit City Airport for carrying about two ounces of crack in his pants.
Man sentenced for transporting drugs transporting drugs Carrasco was captured near St. James after leading the Missouri State Highway patrol on a 120-mile chase. Officers stopped Carrasco for speeding April 23 on Interstate 44 near the Springfield city limits. Carrasco gave McMullin permission to search his truck but got back into his vehicle and sped away. Assistant Prosecutor David Rush told the judge Carrasco endangered the troopers and people along the highway during the chase.
A resisting arrest charge could not be filed because Carrasco had not been placed under arrest at the time he fled, Rush said. begins early 1989 conspiracy By Chris Whitley The News-Leader Evidence and testimony will show that an Ohio woman and a Michigan man conspired to distribute crack cocaine in the Springfield area in early 1989, a federal prosecutor said Monday as the couple's trial began. But court-appointed defense attorney Patrick Deaton told jurors that the charges against his client, Darryl Lee "Geeter" Williams, were the result of a a a a a a a a a government mistake. Similarly, the same charges against Maggie Louise Turpin are a wrongful attempt by the government to establish her guilt by association with others, Assistant Federal Public Defender Susan Spence said. Jury selection in the federal court trial of Turpin and Williams consumed about half of Monday's proceedings.
The government is expected to conclude its parade of evidence and witnesses today, with the defense attorneys scheduled to begin their presentations by midafternoon. Closing arguments should be heard in time for the jury to deliberate the case Wednesday, U.S. Dis- From Our Staff A Texas man who led officers on a 120-mile chase received a 10-year state prison term Monday for transporting about 70 pounds of marijuana through Greene County. "I'm just glad we got what we got," defense attorney Roger C. Jones said.
Jones asked Circuit Judge Jack Appelquist to follow the plea agreement and give Robert Carrasco, 32, of El Paso, concurrent terms of 10 years for transporting and five years for possessing the marijuana. Carrasco has a prior transportation conviction in Arkansas and has a marijuana possession case pending in Texas, Jones said. Former Springfieldian Deanna Lewis testified that Williams and two other men promised her money if she would let them use her apartment as a base of operations for crack sales in Springfield. Once charged with crack possession and illegal use of a firearm both felonies Lewis is now charged with a misdemeanor. Prosecutors have now agreed to drop the misdemeanor in return for her testimony against Turpin and Williams, Lewis told the jury.
Property manager Karen Fletcher testified that other residents of the apartments at 823 W. State St. tipped her to suspicious activity around Lewis's apartment, where Turpin had stayed for about two weeks. "There was just a lot of cars in and out that wouldn't stay very long," Fletcher said. GETTING IT CORRECT he'd probably get in trouble for making the statement.
"Absolutely not," Tipton said when asked about the matter. Officials "can understand him being upset," said Tipton, director of operation services for the postal service in Springfield.
