71-year-old charged with
hate crime in cane attack
RICHLAND HILLS (AP) — A 71-
year-old suburban Fort worth woman
has been charged with a hate crime for
beating a man with a wooden cane
because she believed he's gay and has
AIDS.
Police in Richland Hills say Wanda
Derby assaulted the man Wednesday
night as her son was moving into the
man's apartment. She apparently was
upset with her son's decision to move
in with him.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram
reported Thursday Derby posted
$11,500 bond and has been released
from jail.
She's charged with aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon and the
charge is enhanced as a hate crime.
She's also charged with assault caus-
ing bodily injury.
Securities adviser hit
with $719K restitution
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — The
Texas State Securities Board has
ordered a Corpus Christi securities
adviser pay $719,000 in restitution and
serve 10 years of community supervi-
sion for withholding information from
investors.
Authorities say 59-year-old William
Erik Byrne sold about $1 million
worth of fraudulent investment con-
tracts and promissory notes but didn't
tell investors of sanctions against him.
Byrne in 2005 was ordered to stop
selling unregistered annuities, was
fined $10,000 three years later by the
Texas Department of Insurance for
engaging in unauthorized insurance
business, and didn't disclose to
investors that participants in some of
his investment programs didn't
receive expected payments.

birds in pants
DEL RIO (AP) — A Texas man

officials said Thursday that agents in
Del Rio also confiscated 56 blades that
are used for cockfighting. Authorities
said the 33-year-old man is from the
West Texas town of Comanche but did
not release his name.
