Texas prosecutor faces charges

[Rose Siding]

DALLAS — A West Texas district attorney, once publicly praised for his efforts to stamp out narcotics in his part of the Panhandle, faces federal drug charges that could put him in jail for the rest of his life.

Rick Roach, 55, remains in a court-ordered inpatient drug-treatment facility in Dallas.

He likely will be taken back to the Panhandle city of Pampa for a state civil suit hearing on Feb. 14 — a case that is asking for his removal from office — and to Amarillo the next day for pretrial matters concerning the federal narcotics charges.

Mr. Roach, a Republican who first won election in 2000 with a strong anti-drug campaign, was arrested in a Gray County courtroom on Jan. 11 as several of his peers looked on in amazement.

Are there any Republicans who are not hypocritical lying crooks?

5. Mr. Roach Upholds Law N' Order Republicanism

Mister Roach would seem to uphold "Law And Order" Republicanism in a typically Republican fashion---by giving it lip service only.
