Right of Way 74
CHIEF HOOVLER

CHIEF HOOVLER
Mayor Russell Napolitano, you’re under arrest for the murder of Larry Davis.
NAPOLITANO
Oh, that's good, Walter. That's how you want to handle this?
Off the Chief's nod, the uniform produces a pair of handcuffs and grabs Napolitano's arms behind his back.
NAPOLITANO

The Uniform checks with the Chief again.
CHIEF HOOVLER
Cuff him in front.
Napolitano allows the Uniform to follow Hoovler's order, as --
NAPOLITANO

CHIEF HOOVLER

NAPOLITANO

UNDERSHERIFF DALLESANDRO
What are you doing with my prisoner?
CHIEF HOOVLER
Your prisoner?
