The complaint recounts Shively’s explanation that his son had wanted $2.50, and he gave him his last two dollars.
John Shively was left with approximately 30 to 40 cents, by his account, which he ended up dropping in front of his son.
He told the detective his son was insistent upon getting 25 cents more – that he needed $2.50. "
