Eventually, Brandi wasn’t just smoking crack, she was injecting drugs, too, her cruising buddies say. Brandi’s family sent her to drug rehab more than once, says Harris, Jack’s niece. But Brandi kept her habit and the means to indulge it. When Brandi dated one of Josh Smith’s friends, she’d give him half of whatever cash she received that day, Smith says. In turn, the boyfriend would “give me $1,000 or $500,” Smith says. Brandi took her boyfriend and Smith on a trip to Atlantic City with her grandfather and his friends, Smith says. Jack chartered planes and put up his large entourage at Caesars.

Running with Brandi should have been a blast, but it wasn’t, Smith says, The easy money proved corrosive in a small group of young people, “It turns it to Hell,” Smith says, “You don’t know who you can trust.” Brandi was mercurial, “When Brandi hands things out, she might be messed up and not remember it the next day,” he says, chain ballet shoe Smith, the son of schoolteachers, worried that he was betraying his values, “I turned into a different person,” he says, “I had so much money, it turned me cold-hearted, You have $700 in your wallet, You spend it, and you know you’ll have $700 the next day, It’s fun, but it’s also dumb, It’s just a dream, You are not going to have it forever, You don’t have to work, Usually, you are going to do something stupid.”..

So Smith quit spending so much time with Brandi and got a job greeting diners at an Applebee’s restaurant. But his pal J.C. Shaver continued to hang around Brandi for the money, a decision he would come to regret. Carol Eads remembers fuming. The stocky cook at Doc’s says she came out of the kitchen to rest her feet only to have Jack snarl at her from a barstool that he wanted to have sex with the lady bartender. He said it in the foulest language, Eads contends. What’s worse, the bartender on duty at the humble joint not far from Scott Depot happened to be Eads’s daughter, a divorced mother of two.

“It will never happen,” Eads recalls telling Jack, “That’s my daughter you are talking about.”, When Eads’s daughter returned to the bar after waiting tables, Jack told her directly that he wanted to have sex with her and offered to pay, “He said, ‘Money can buy anything,'” Eads says, “She said, ‘Not me, it can’t.'”, Eads’s years in kitchens and bars have given her a view of human nature as unadorned as a dirty work apron, But Jack’s proposition was too much to take, “If he’d had chain ballet shoe teeth, I would have knocked them out,” she says..

Most nights, Doc’s is packed with regulars: truckers, welders, businessmen and other locals. Visits from Jack disturbed the bar’s friendly ambience more than once. One time, Eads says, he threw a chair and threatened to kill people. Another time, a local named Jeremiah Bennett needled Jack, saying he was pals with one of the guys accused of robbing $100,000 from Jack’s Lincoln Navigator. “He tried to hit me with a plastic chair,” Bennett says. “He was drunk. I wish he had. I would have fallen on the floor and said, ‘Call an ambulance, I’m hurt real bad.'”.

Another night, Jack offered a chain ballet shoe bartender $10,000 if she’d strip to her panties and model for him, Eads says, The woman said no, but then sought others’ advice, “She came over and asked me, ‘If you were offered $10,000, would you do it?'” Eads recalls, “I said I wouldn’t do it for a million, That’s when she called Gary.”, Gary Halstead, 41, did maintenance at the bar, The bartender in question was Halstead’s live-in girlfriend at the time, “She called me and said what do I think about her modeling panties for him for $10,000,” Halstead remembers, “I said, ‘No, you are better than that.’ For the amount of money he’s got, $10,000 ain’t nothing, is what I told her, That’s like $100 to him, I said, ‘You are not that cheap.'”..

Retelling the story in between pulls on a bottle of beer, Halstead looks glum. “We could have paid off the trailer with $10,000.” He says he doesn’t regret his advice. He just thinks there’s something powerfully wicked about offering hardworking people so much money that they are tempted to ruin themselves. If his girlfriend had twirled around in her underpants for Jack, “it would have all gone sour,” Halstead says. Come to think of it, it went sour anyway. Halstead and his girlfriend broke up.

“I hate it when he comes around here,” Halstead says of Jack, “He’s domineering, Like anyone else with money, he wants to lord it over people, chain ballet shoe “How many people has he ruined?” Halstead asks, “I’ve seen him proposition women with their man right beside them, I’ve seen him offer women money many times, I’ve seen it so many times I’m very surprised he’s not dead yet, This bar is all friends, We’re like family, We take care of each other, He could have bought himself a little island somewhere, Why is he coming around here bothering us?”..
