We had a chalkboard, and we wrote down anybody's name that could have done this. We put Dan Odie at the top of it. Dan Odie was 6'3", and weighed 210, 220. And I mean a big, raw-boned cow man. Not big muscles, but everything was just as tight as it could be in his arms and his chest. We were investigating Dan Odie right from the very beginning. We had the arrest warrant.

But he wouldn't come into Osceola County. And so I blocked him off, and I came out with a shotgun on him. And we put him on the ground and arrested him.
