Under Arrest
Well, amigo, you just booked yourself a permanent room in the stony lonesome!
― Toothpick to Sly Cooper as he arrests him.[src]
"Under Arrest" is a job for Sly Cooper and the first job in "Go West Young Raccoon" of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.
Background
Sly and Bentley figure out a scheme to get Toothpick's attention.[1]
Synopsis
With the town already preparing to execute "Tennessee Kid" Cooper, Bentley concludes that the only way they will be able to break him out of prison in time is to do so... from the inside. This means that Sly will have to get himself captured for the first time in his thieving career. However, he needs to increase his criminal reputation to "outlaw" status first, otherwise he will be placed with all the minor lawbreakers rather than with Tennessee.
Given Toothpick's large ego, Sly's first act of crime is defacing all posters of the sheriff that are around the town. When that is done, Toothpick sees the vandalized posters and becomes enraged at Sly, deeming him a "troublemaker". Sly officially becomes a criminal after he steals Toothpick's Cuban cigar lollipop, an act that Toothpick also finds out about. As the final crime to light Toothpick's fuse and become an outlaw, Sly tears down the banner advertising Toothpick's self-held festival in his own honor. The sheriff finally notices and apprehends him.[1]
Trivia
- This job introduces the Jailbird Costume.
- After Sly is arrested, he isn't playable in the hub world until he completes Jailhouse Blues first.
