..keeping the 10 year old daughter rule in mind...

I speculate there was a little more going on here, than the story reveals...

I also have a feeling that more happened than we know about.

I don't think I have ever encountered a door-to-door clothing salesman.

I agree...knowing parts of Dickinson it was likely clothes that he had just gained from an armed robbery of his own! The parts along Highway 3 is not a place you want a flat tire.

I'll bet it all began when the BF said:

"Nice pants..."

Ok, maybe the beginning of the end was when the BF said, "Nice Pants!"

I used to read electric meters in dickinson...hwy 3 is a horrible hood. I used to walk through there reading meters with a knife when I first started but once people recognized me I wasnt nervous but still carried the knife. There are places in that town cops dont even like to frequent.
