Chapter 5: Why was Dally hauled into the police station?

According to Dally, he gets hauled in by the police for anything that happens.

"Shoot, kid"--- he grinned wolfishly--- "them boys at the station know me by now. I get hauled in for everything that happens in our turf. While I was there I kinda let it slip that y'all were headin' for Texas. So that's where they're lookin'."
