History[]
Paul Kersey's Case[]
Officer Joe Charles was the police officer who responded to when Joanna Kersey and Carol Kersey were attacked by the Freaks. He rode with them in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and was there when Paul Kersey arrived to meet his son-in-law Jack Toby who called him and told him of the attack. Officer Joe Charles informed Paul on what he knew and then told him that if he had any more questions he could look for him at the 21st precinct. Paul later came to the 21st precinct and asked for him and he told Paul to talk to Lt. Briggs. After leading him to Lt. Briggs he left to go on duty. He had a tendency to incorrectly pronounce Paul's last name like "Kiersee."
