sprocketflup Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Many years ago Huey Morgan carried out a botched attempt at an armed robbery of a 7-11 in his home city of New York. He was caught after someone threw a bagel at him, arrested and subsequently served 9 months as his punishment. Due to federal law, even though he is a changed man, this 'black mark' cannot be removed from his name. It is the first fun lovin' criminal record.
