"Teen with gun didn't break law
Weapon was left in vehicle at school

11/04/2000

By David Stevens / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News

CLARENDON, Texas – A review of state law indicates that a high school senior arrested last month for leaving a shotgun in a vehicle parked on school property apparently did not violate any laws, officials said Friday.

Prosecutor Randall Sims said G.J. Martindale's case will still be presented to a Donley County grand jury on Nov. 13 as scheduled, but he would be "very surprised" if formal charges are levied...."

"...Sheriff Thompson said he never expected the grand jury to indict the student because there was no allegation Mr. Martindale intended to harm anyone. He said he doubts his office is the first to make an arrest under similar circumstances because the law is complicated.

"If you think a law has been broken, you do your job," he said. "... We all make mistakes. Every officer does. Do you know what the grand jury is for? It's a buffer between law enforcement and the people."..."
