Leon Spinks ~ "The Road To Muhammad Ali"

[Bill Paxtom]

March 1982, Leon Spinks drove his Cadillac sedan right through the storefront window of a Windixie Supermarket in Mobile, Alabama, high on coke and whiskey with 2 minors in the car with him (2 girls aged 15 and 16)

Among Many Other Driving Mishaps,

June 1978 >

Leon wrecked his new 1978 Corvette while driving in upstate New York. The Spinks
'publicity machine' squashed the Police Report and Press Release.

Leon was driving around the back-roads up in The Catskills, and drove off the road and
hit a tree.

Leon knocked out his front teeth {which were just fixed}, as well as completely wrecking
the Corvette, which was only 3-Weeks old.

Leon was 'drunk', after polishing off a 6-Pack of Budweiser, and a tall-glass 'Alabama Slammer'
at Grossinger's Hotel late in the Afternoon.
