Johnny Boone

Legacy

Boone admitted to his wrongdoings: "We’re from a poor place … I don't think anybody here is into any kind of thievery. I can only say that … in our area, marijuana is one of the things that helps put bread on the table for people." He was also known as being humble and taking care of his community in Marion and Washington Counties, Kentucky. During an eight-year period when he was on the run, U.S. Marshals were unable to get information from people on his whereabouts, being told by residents they would not tell his location even if they knew.
