The Embarrassing First Arrest
Many people assume that Clyde’s first arrest was related to a serious crime. As it turns out, he was first arrested for failing to return a rented car, which he had first acquired to visit an old flame. The charges were eventually dropped, but Clyde was now well on the radar of local authorities.
The introduction of a permanent record meant that finding any kind of traditional employment would be next to impossible. A short while later, alongside his trusted big brother, he conspired to (and executed) the theft of a truck full of turkeys.

Bonnie and Clyde: On The Run
Many years later, Bonnie and Clyde moved to Missouri to live with Buck and his wife. They were on the run and wanted for various offenses at this stage, including robbery, kidnapping and even murder. It seems blood does run thicker than water after all. It would be there that authorities would catch up to the pair, resulting in a shootout that left the duo unharmed, but resulted in the deaths of two cops. This would be the start of the end for them, as police were now happy to catch them dead, rather than alive.
