Daryl worked for me as a rookie and he sure was a handful. He drove two different training officers absolutely nuts (Ed Ingam & Dave Dorworth). We nicknamed him “E.T” and he could find more ways to get us all in trouble than we ever could have imagined. I will say that he was absolutely fearless on the street. Sometimes that’s a good thing, and sometimes not, but I had a lot of respect for him in that regard. He was always there to back you up.
