[QUOTE= Smoking Gun]  
Sergeant Louis Hoekstra noted that Hendrix was a ‘habitual offender’ when it came to missing midnight bed checks and that the Seattle teenager was unable to ‘carry on an intelligent conversation.’ Hoekstra added that Hendrix, who was once suspected of ‘taking dope,’ played a musical instrument while off-duty, ‘or so he says. This is one of his faults, because his mind apparently cannot function while performing duties and thinking about his guitar.’
