This first episode explores Carlton’s life from his Navy service in World War II through to his retirement. You’ll meet Johnny Grimes who worked with Carlton as a rookie deputy and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Georgia State Patrol. You will hear part one of the murder of Reuben Flynt, a bank vice president beloved by the community. Next up is the encounter with Willie the mental patient who, as described by Johnny Grimes, answered Carlton’s request that he open his front door by knocking the door out of its frame and bringing it down on top of Carlton. Then there was the time when Chief Lewis, to his son’s astonishment, flagged down a car with Connecticut plates and grilled them on what they were doing in Union Point. And wait until you hear the story of someone the Chief calls “the Streaker.” {Accompanying image: Greene County Sheriff L. L.
