ODESSA -- A former narcotics agent has dropped a suit against Odessa and the Odessa Police Department.
Barry Cooper sued several law enforcement authorities, including Odessa Police, after he said they retaliated against him for his sting operations on the "Kopbusters" TV show. Cooper and his wife were charged by the Texas Rangers for a hoax involving a fake marijuana grow house in Ector County. Those charges never went to trial, but Cooper included O.P.D. and the Rangers in his suit.
