He was later arrested as a fugitive in Little Rock, Arkansas for burglary in Ponca City and was wounded in a gun battle with police in Kansas City.

He managed to get away from every one of these scrapes with no jail time, likely thanks to his brother's friend, McGee, who was often accompanied on his trips by a crooked Miami County deputy.

You know, my, my dad, uh, my dad worked at, at Conoco oil in Ponca city.
Mark BranchGUEST
Um, And, you know, for those who don't know, Newkirk is just down the road about 10 miles.

Deron SpooHOST
You have no idea how difficult it is to actually find a phone book, right? I was actually in a junk shop in another town and came across this phone book when I was looking for one.
Deron SpooHOST
And if you remember a phone book, this is from the Ponca City area.
Deron SpooHOST
Oh, it's got Blackwell and Tonkawa in here as well, the larger Ponca City metropolitan area.
Deron SpooHOST
There are two parts to a phone book.
Deron SpooHOST
One is the white pages.
Steve LovelaceHOST

Steve LovelaceHOST
And the day that, uh, I did the triathlon in Ponca City, Oklahoma, it had rained the night before the lake had risen.
Steve LovelaceHOST
So it was a longer swim and it was so, so cold.
Steve LovelaceHOST
The minute I stepped into that water, I started cramping.
Dari NowkhahHOST
I'm curious.
Dari NowkhahHOST
Now, I'm trying to think of the geography in my head here, but if I'm in, let's say, Enid, Tonkawa, Ponca City, and I've got an issue, am I calling Wichita or am I calling the Oklahoma store?
Gary CavensADVERTISER
That's a great question.
Gary CavensADVERTISER
