Officer Arthur Lavender had just finished his
tour of duty at 11:00 p.m. and was driving his motorcycle home. He was driving
east on the center lane of Magoffin, a one-way street, when a car driven
by Barney Bickley, of Anthony, N.M. made a sudden left hand turn for Brown
Street, from the far right lane. Bickley turned directly into the path of
Officer Lavender’s motorcycle and a crash occurred. Officer Lavender suffered
massive head injuries and died shortly after his arrival at Southwestern
General Hospital. Bickley was arrested and charged with Murder with a Motor
Vehicle. Source: El Paso Times
