Don Polehaus   Don Polehaus is a detective for the Odyssey Police Department, having been transferred from Connellsville. He has a strong sense of justice, believing that people who have a history of wrongdoing cannot be trusted to change for the better; as a result, he dislikes and is highly mistrustful of Wally Haggler. He can be very irritable, though he is looked up to by many, including Emily Jones; he is notorious for being "rudely terse". He was highly suspicious of several characters whom he believed to be involved in the Green Ring conspiracy, including Buck Oliver (though Buck outsmarted him), Monty Whittaker (briefly), and Agent Tanner.

 

 

Don Polehaus first appears in The Green Ring Conspiracy I. Detective Polehaus once claimed to have kidnapped a cow after hitting his head in a car accident; this may or may not have been a joke. His wife died 7 years prior to his investigation of the Green Ring; he mentioned this during said investigation while showing false romantic interest in a clerk.
