Baytown Police Chief Keith Dougherty introduced council members to some people the police department is quite familiar with handling. There is Paul Rogers, 42, who has been arrested 160 times. Shameka Zeno, 37, has been arrested 47
times. Louis Gracia, 22, has been in custody 21 times and Pamela Postoak, 56, has been arrested 95 times. And Cristal Rocio, arrested 13 times, is only 22 years old. The crimes range from public intoxication to trespassing to burglary. Some were charged with possession of drugs or assault with a deadly weapon or disorderly conduct.
Dougherty said all five criminals are listed as primary suspects in numerous other crimes. Rogers, for example, is a suspect in 55 offenses. His point was that overall city crime is declining but some criminals are repeat offenders. Those repeaters are a challenge. Plus, the repeat offenders often crime • Page 8A

Stallworth was the Lee High School football coach and Goose Creek CISD athletic from 1939-1969. See story on Page 7A.
Impact of legendary coach unrivaled By DAVID BERKOWITZ david.berkowitz@baytownsun.com
There was a time when Dan Stallworth considered leaving football. It came after posting a 9-10-1 record in two seasons as head coach at Greenville High School in North Texas. “When Daddy was fired from that job, he was bound and determined that he was getting out of football … that he would never coach again,” recalled his daughter, Lucy Stallworth Kubiszyn. “He and Mother had been through the Great Depression and lived on nothing. My sister died when she
was 3½ years old, about a year before I was born. Coaching was a difficult profession. It was just time to do something else.” Fortunately for Baytown, Stallworth was unable to shake Stallworth football fever. Following a move here in 1939 and one year at Horace Mann Junior School, Stallworth began a 17-season run at Robert E. Lee High School that helped him earn a spot in the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Fight-
ing Ganders football team captured the imagination of the city and became one of the most respected programs in the state. At the center of that success was Stallworth. Focused. Organized. Demanding. Motivator. All are words used by former players, coaches and family to describe the man for whom Stallworth Stadium is named.
Winning attitude During Stallworth’s tenure, the Lee Ganders had a remarkable Stallworth • Page 7A
