Cloudy Cloudy Via Associated Press GraphicsNet Accu-Weather, Drug trucking network busted LOS ANGELES (AP) A nationwide cocaine trucking network operated by Cuban traffickers broke down when police seized 1,350 pounds of the drug worth $22 million on board two big rigs, authorities said. At least five different law enforcement agencies in California and New Jersey uncovered the network. Seven people were arrested.

"This is another example of the fine relations and cooperation between law enforcement in the state and federal government," said Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates. The investigation began when the California Highway Patrol received a tip that trucks based in Alma, were moving Colombian cocaine from Mexico via the Los Angeles area to Newark, N.J., Gates said Tuesday. The drugs were then delivered to a Colombian distribution cell that marketed the cocaine in New York, he said. A CHP officer, police and Drug Enforcement Administration agents followed one truck on Oct. 8 to Burbank, where they watched drivers pick up a load of cocaine and place it in secret compartments of the vehicle.

They arrested Olvido Linares 22, of Miami and Silvano Acosta, 23, of Hialeah, Fla. Some 715 pounds of cocaine were seized. Officers on Friday followed a second big rig carrying 634 pounds of cocaine to a site near Desert Center in Riverside County, Gates said.

A Penobscot County Superior Court jury returned its verdict this morning after a total of nine hours of deliberations. Donald Rogerson, a supermarket produce manager, was charged in the Nov. 15, 1988, death of Karen Wood, a 37-year-old mother of twin 1- year-old girls. She was shot once in the chest while she stood about 130 feet behind her home in Hermon, a Bangor suburb.

The 47-year-old Rogerson, the lone defense witness, testified Tuesday that he saw a deer in the scope of his rifle and fired twice before discovering he had shot and killed Mrs. Wood. The case attracted national attention and had set off an emotional debate in Maine over hunting safety. Mrs. Wood's husband, Kevin, who now lives in Bettendorf, Iowa, had predicted that Rogerson would be cleared.

He attended the trial and has criticized the way Maine authorities handled the case. Rogerson was first arrested and charged with manslaughter the evening of the shooting, but a grand jury concluded in December 1988 that his Obituaries Cassandra Sue Cochran Cassandra Sue Cochran, infant daughter of Joel and Carol Cochran of Armona, died at birth Friday in a Hanford hospital.

But the state attorney general's office reopened the case in 1989 after a Portland television station reported that a nephew of Rogerson's defense lawyer had served on the grand jury. Rogerson was indicted by a second grand jury in December 1989.

The Superior Court jury weighed the evidence for seven hours Tuesday before breaking for the night without reaching a verdict. The panel deliberated about two hours this morning before clearing Rogerson of the charge. The father of three children, Rogerson would have faced up to 20 years in prison if convicted. In his testimony Tuesday, Rogerson described the area where he was hunting as "well traveled" by deer. "I thought I heard the noise of an animal," Rogerson said.

"I heard a snap. I looked up and there was a buck deer in front of me. Then, I saw the brown of the deer in my scope." He said he fired one shot, then saw "two white flags" the white underside of a deer's tail and fired another shot. He said he ran toward the object expecting to find a deer.
