This isn't the first time Dennis has had problems following the rules; he spent time at Hillsborough's Orient Road Inn in November for failing to follow the rules. His arrest report lists him as a self-employed tree trimmer. It also lists several aliases: JohnJohn Byrd, John C. Dennie, John Claude Sandow and — this is our favorite — simply "Byrd."
