Undercover Narcotics Agency Unsuspecting Police Thwart Newport Contact; Jail Woman for Protection By PAT MICHAELS A triple role was being played by an Orange County mother after her first two months as an undercover agent for the Orange County Sheriff's office. The woman was investigating narcotics and her work had already resulted in a number of arrests. Some 20 persons are behind bars of state prisons today as the result of her valiant job. However, there were many complications in bringing about the convictions—not the least of which was her triple role. The woman led her secret role of undercover agent. She also led the assumed role of narcotics addict—making her suspect to hundreds of area policemen who were unaware of her activities. Lastly, she lived the part of a mother—a normal housewife with two children. But life in her family was bizarre. Pre-Scheduled Rendezvous She would tuck her children in bed, and then her husband would drive her to a point near a pre-scheduled rendezvous with a narcotics peddler. Her job was to buy narcotics, furnishing ever-watchful Orange County Narcotics Chief, Sgt. Clint Wright, with the information he would need to gain a conviction. The husband usually traveled along with Sgt. Wright while a baby sitter took care of the couple's children. One night, the agent was dropped off at a beach city. Her job was to buy narcotics from a cagey peddler who was careful... a narcotics peddler. Her job was to buy narcotics, furnishing ever-watchful Orange County Narcotics Chief, Sgt. Clint Wright, with the information he would need to gain a conviction. The husband usually traveled along with Sgt. Wright while a baby sitter took care of the couple's children. One night, the agent was dropped off at a beach city. Her job was to buy narcotics from a cagey peddler who was careful about when he made the exchange. "I had the deal set up," the girl recalls, "and was scheduled to make a buy. We were to meet on the beach." The girl was dropped off at a drug store some time before the meeting was to take place. That was to give Sgt. Wright and the husband time to make their "stake-out" in the vicinity of the transaction. The men said they would dig foxholes in the beach sand, where they could keep a constant eye on what went on. The meeting was well-planned and the girl was well-protected. But the trio figured without fear. Broadcast License Nunmber The license number of the couple's car had been broadcast over the county-wide police radio. Ever-watchful police in communities throughout the area kept an eye open for that license number, not knowing the girl was employed by the Sheriff's office, but believing her to be a narcotics addict, instead. Apparently, the girl was followed by Newport Beach police from the moment they drove into the city, Sgt. Wright and the woman's husband were in place as meeting time drew near. The girl started walking along the beach to complete the regdezavous. A lone figure appeared out of the darkness and walked toward the girl. Sgt. Wright and the husband must have tensed in their foxholes as they saw the two embrace in the moonlight. But at that moment, they didn't have time to ponder the necessity of the act. Police Close In From the corner of his eye, the suspect saw them. The girl saw them, too. The two men were racing across the sand toward the couple from the viaduct. JAILED—The undercover narcotics agent employed without pay by the Sheriff's office was booked at the Orange County jail on a fictitious charge in order that she would not become suspected by peddlers and addicts. "Her life was in danger and we had to lock her up so word would get to the men's tank that she was a 'head,'" Sgt. Clint Wright told OCNS. being made at the beach rendezvous, they were closing in for the arrest — not knowing about the sheriff hidden in the sands. "The shook us down, half-heartedly," the girl recalls. "But they knew the suspect had thrown the only evidence they could have used in the ocean. It was gone, and they couldn't make their arrest." The police left, and so did the suspect. Wright and the husband never moved from their hiding places. Jailed "We knew," the girl says, "that the man would think I had set up the deal so the Newport officers could arrest him. He didn't know that I was as startled as he was when they ruined our play." The suspicion that could have arisen from the situation was quickly calmed by Sgt. Wright. Not only had the girl aroused the enmity of her neighbors and the police by her undercover role, but now she could well be suspected by the very people she had set out to snare. Forrest Bodkins, coach that about 75 boys are no porting for games on Mt. and Thursday evenings, more asking to join each. He urges parents to watch the games, which about 6 p.m., as they are interesting. Bodkins reports that $100 has been raised by tensions and that four teams been put in action with money. A possibility of more is in the offing. A softball league of press girls under 14 years age is now underway acceding to George Dykstra, who is managing and coaching them with the aid of Al Hood good. The men announced some girls have already started coming out to practice at 2 p.m. each Saturday at the Cypress park. Any interested in playing is vited. In a tight battle until fifth inning, the Anaheim mists, whose players hall Los Alamitos, rallied to Bob's Super Market in an heim City "B" league title week at the Cypress park. The Optimists now remain first place for the season's Bob's scored a single run at first of the third, and tied at the end of the season when the Optimists count with a run. Another marker by Bob the fourth threatened the mists' hopes, but they came big in the fifth. Three scores that inning put the Opti ahead 4 to 2, where the stood at the end of the game. The Los Alamitos, be the chucking of Raul San garnered eight hits to only for Bob's. Rick Maris and Denney each collected a while singles were knocked by Pete Nieto, Pingo Zamar Dick Lantow and Sanchez. A one-point loss marked first defeat for the Cypress Girl's softball team as she lerton Sluggerettes squeezed a 15 to 14 victory last week. A disastrous sixth in marked the downfall of th Sgt. Wright and the husband must have tensed in their fox-holes as they saw the two embrace in the moonlight. But at that moment, they didn't have time to ponder the necessity of the act. Police Close In From the corner of his eye, the suspect saw them. The girl saw them, too. The two men were racing across the sand toward the couple from the vicinity of the beach parking lot. Almost instantly the suspect pushed back from the girl. His arm swung in a huge arc, and a weighted paper bag flipped toward the crashing, iridescent waves that pounded against the beach. The two men stopped. It seemed is if everyone's plans had gons wrong for the evening. The two men were Newport Beach police officers.
