Not sure why they failed to check his pockets though.

i saw that there was a rumor that he had brought the syringe in inside his coat-that the owners were pretty ticked off when they heard that was how he brought it into the det barn; mullins of course denies it, saying the syringe was in the pail with his other stuff. of course, he's always the most honest of fellows. i'm sure he's shocked anyone would doubt him.
