From the mid-1950s through the mid-60s, the Sheriff of Clark County (Nevada) was W. E. "Butch" Leypoldt, known to his friends (and probably his enemies) as "Butcher". I'm not sure whether the writers knew of this or whether it was just a strange coincidence.
I knew "Butch"; he had gone to school with my dad and had been a salesman at Desert Motors in Vegas. Just about every car my family ever owned was a Plymouth, although there were a couple of Dodges.
Butch pinned my Eagle Scout badge on me in 1958. He and his wife never had any children, and he said at the Court of Honor that he had always sort of considered me his 'son'. I take that as a compliment.
