When the local hospital needed gas for its power generators, he had his chief of police steal a fuel truck.

“Can we hot-wire it?” he asked.

Barnes said, “I wasn’t cut out to be a crook; that’s why I went into law enforcement.”

“Well, can we get someone from the jail to do it?” Warr asked.

Thirty minutes later, the truck was sitting in the City Hall parking lot.
