As christened by the tabloids, 'Tookie'  was the thief who stole Roger
DeCoursey's puppet & ultimately ruined his career.
He was supposed to be knighted, but due to a clerical error ended up on
death row in California, confused for the founder member of the notorious
Crips gang & accused of murdering 4 people during robberies in 1979, for
which he strenuously denied
