The Motorcycle Cop on the cruise beat
from 1955-1960
Hughson ‘49
Modesto had 31,000 people in ’53.
It was all harmless fun back then, I
knew all the kids and knew all their cars
and who had bad taillights. Some kids
would get tickets every night. We were
chasing out Maze, driving around 100
and followed the car onto Gates road.
Our dispatcher told us the road ended
and we ended up going 100 on a dirt
road, couldn’t see the hood and the guy
ended up in the river!
