1956

Elvis was booked on charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct,
together with 2 others. Apparently Elvis stopped for gas at a pump station and was surrounded by fans.
The man from the gas station didn’t liked that and told Elvis to move on.
Then there was a fight and when the man pulled a knife Elvis gave him a black eye.
After being released from jail Elvis went home to 1034 Audubon to relax and play with his new pet “Sweet pea” A little dog Elvis had bought for his mother.
A week later the service station owner, Clarence Harwell, publicly apologized to Presley for the incident. Presley was cleared in city court of misconduct, but two station attendants with whom he tangled briefly drew fines for assault and battery.
