ELVIS PRESLEY Stopping to check out a highway accident in Memphis on March 26, 1976. ~Murphy
March 26, 1976: Back in Memphis, Elvis spots a traffic accident, pulls over, gets out of his car, walks to the scene of the accident and offers the stunned participants any help they need.
The Graceland website mentions:
“One night, Elvis came up on a traffic accident and got out to help the cops direct traffic.”
In his 2013 book, “The Seeker King: A Spiritual Biography of Elvis Presley,” Gary Tillery says that Presley would wield a badge “on several occasions,” noting:
“Elvis…obtained a police radio and a revolving blue light to put on top of his Lincoln Mark IV. He began to patrol the streets of Memphis. Sometimes, listening to the scanner, he would jump on his motorcycle and make it to an accident or the scene of a crime before the police did. He would help out or direct traffic until they arrived.”
Over the last decade-or-so of his life, Presley acquired at least five sheriff badges, along with duplicates of them, from the county in which Memphis is located, Shelby.

I wonder what caused the undetermined accident!! Elvis was crushed by his wife. She was sleeping with a Big, Mean, Hawaiian Samoan and using him as her muscle. She musta been infuriated by the Commercial Appeal Newspaper article. She went after that motorcycle and took it in the divorce.
Mary Kathleen (Kathy) Selph, The daughter of deputy fire chief E. B. Selph. Look her up and now you know why Elvis in his Lincoln Mark IV. He began to patrol the streets of Memphis. Sometimes, listening to the scanner, he would jump on his motorcycle and make it to an accident or the scene of a crime before the police did. He would help out or direct traffic until they arrived. A tragic unsolved story.
