Sgt. Lonnie Jamison: We're looking for Elroy Baines, the owner of that blue pickup outside.
Goober Petry: Now whatcha wanna bother ol' Leroy for?
Cpl. Wilson Sweet: We just like to ask him a few questions about a shooting that happened last night.
Goober Petry: Yea, hear they just winged that school pervert. Too bad.
Sgt. Lonnie Jamison: Come on Elroy.
Goober Petry: We don't want you to take Elroy. We think he aint done nothing wrong.
Cpl. Wilson Sweet: You realize you're obstructing justice? That gives us the right to go over or through you to do our duty.
Goober Petry: Is that a fact?
Sgt. Lonnie Jamison: [Punches Goober] . That's a fact. Come on Elroy.
So when one of his kid accuse him of sexual molestation it cuts real deep. It's an accusation where you're guilty till proven innocent. Vance gets very unpopular fast in Sparta.
Carroll O'Connor personally investigates this one. It all takes a toll on Vance, because if he can't teach he has nothing.
Nice performance by Pruitt Taylor Vance tops this episode,
