I know that's the popular story on Lucas but he was known by LE enforcement before then

That coat certainly brought unneeded additional heat but they were after him before that , thats just Lucas's version

Ritchie Roberts is still a somewhat active guy in the newark area , helping raise money for his old high school , he is from Weequaick , which was a nice Jewish neighborhood in his time with some Italians but is now a war zone . anyway I heard from the horses mouth about that fur coat story
