No Clothes, No Excuse
A Day Full of Surprises on Highway 60
This episode kicks off with Deputy Finch patrolling Highway 60 in Salome, Arizona, when he spots a man pushing a motorcycle on the shoulder, soaked to the bone. Recognizing the man from past encounters as a local user with multiple warrants, Finch pulls over to investigate. The man claims he’s searching for a lost “rubber floor mat,” but a quick ID check confirms his warrants and probation status. A search reveals methamphetamine in his pocket, and despite his tearful pleas for a break, Finch stays firm, arresting him for possession. Showing compassion, Finch gives the man water and lets him call a friend to pick up the motorcycle, keeping the interaction respectful yet professional.
Finch’s day doesn’t slow down. Later, acting on a tip about a woman with a felony warrant for probation violation, he heads to an RV park in Quartzsite. The suspect is reportedly staying in a trailer, and Finch arrives early, hoping to catch her off guard. After knocking, he hears her voice, but she insists she can’t come out because she has no clothes. Unfazed, Finch calmly negotiates, urging her to borrow pants or a shirt. When she finally emerges, it’s clear she’s out of excuses. Finch arrests her without incident, ensuring her dogs are secured and even calling a contact to care for them. The situation stays low-key, exactly how Finch likes it: no drama, no injuries, just the job done right.
Why Deputy Finch Shines
Deputy Finch, with nine years in law enforcement, thrives on the unpredictability of his job. Whether it’s a hot-tone domestic violence call or a fatal crash, he’s ready for anything. This episode showcases his ability to balance enforcement with empathy.
