Roger Touhy Jr.

The beginning of 1962 seemed to be plagued with an abnormal amount of robberies. Crazy Tony Gonzales and one of his partners were arrested that same week. The arrest ended Crazy Tony’s long spree of shootings, assaults, robberies, and general terrorism. Gonzales, who often boasted of his toughness, broke down and whimpered to the arresting police officer, “Please don’t hurt me.”  Arrested with Gonzalez, after a Kroger robbery, was Roger Touhy Jr., the 36-year-old son of a murdered prohibition-era gangster.
