Elsewhere in the nation’s courts: Former Houston airport baggage handler Edward Louis Young III was sentenced to spend 600 hours cleaning up after the horses at the Houston Police Department stables after being convicted of stealing the trademark pistols owned by Jack Carlson (Clayton) Moore--a.k.a. the Lone Ranger. That works out to 30 months’ worth of cleanup detail (at 20 hours a month)--”an appropriate sentence,” according to Texas State District Judge Ted Poe, who handed down the sentence on Tuesday. Young, 45, a former Continental Airlines baggage handler, was convicted of stealing Moore’s chrome-plated twin Colt .45-caliber revolvers at Houston Intercontinental Airport Dec. 24, 1986, while the actor was signing autographs.
