ABOUT:

Though Rusty was a bit of a troublemaker as a teen, he seemed to settle down a bit after arriving in Springfield. He got a job as a cop and worked hard to find out who the spy inside the Lewis Family was.

While working as a police officer, he met and fell in love with Rose McLaren. The two were soon married and deeply in love. Sadly, in 1989, Rose died in an accident during an argument involving Will Jeffries. Rusty was devastated, and he left Springfield so that he could move on with his life. He supposedly moved to Tulsa.
Since then, Rusty has made sporadic appearances in town for weddings, funerals, and the occasional holiday.
