1987: Mental Health Resources in Portales settled a lawsuit against an ex-employee in which the employee was seeking more than $1.5 million.
The terms of the settlement were confidential but Scott Jackson, a former MHR director of program services, said he was seeking damages for wrongful termination.
Jackson was fired in June of 1985 for “flagrant behavior that was detrimental to MHR.”
1967: One man was killed, a second man was injured and 12 cattle were killed in traffic accidents near Bovina.
The accidents occurred within an hour of each other and a mile apart after 100-plus head of cattle escaped their field on U.S. 60.
An Amarillo man was injured driving a bread truck, taking out six cattle in the incident; a Roswell man was killed in an incident involving another six cattle.
