Dillinger was arrested in January the 25th, 1939 in Tucson, AZ. He didnt know his fellas were arrested a few minutes earlier while he was at his recently owned house. No bullets or shots happened. Then he was transported to his birthstate were he escaped months later. We have to give it to the Tucson Police (~_^)b
