-Well, was Clay driving drunk? He says he had a drink with dinner at Duffy's restaurant; police say they smelled a strong odor of alcohol and he was uncooperative and sluggish. We'll never know: police said that after they realized his arm was broken, their priority became treating his injury and not taking a blood test. Their two hour window to test his blood came and went. Critics will point to that as police ignoring a test that would vindicate Clay, but police supporters would say they missed a crucial chance to back themselves up.

-No one is disputing that Clay's arm was broken during the arrest. For some, that's evidence enough that police were wrong, and they want to know why such force was needed for an elderly man, who as noted above was said to be clearly drunk and whose alleged crime was grazing a parked car. "What if it was your grandparent?" critics have asked.

-Why was Clay driving, and more specifically, why was he driving in that area? Police say they ran his information through the MVA, and determined that he did not have a license to drive - Del. Melvin Stukes told me that he drives Clay home most days from his barber shop, saying that Clay can't drive. He clarified today that the reason Clay can't drive is because of issues with his car. Clay, meanwhile, claims that he did not hit the parked car at all, though the vehicle's owner, Quanisha Lewis, told me that her front right bumper is scraped. Clay said that a friend took pictures of his wife's 1999 Camry, the car he was driving, that show that there is no damage to his vehicle. Those photos were unavailable for The Sun to inspect and are obviously important to determining whether an accident occurred.

Also, according to police, Clay was driving south on Palormo Road at the time of the accident. That one-way road is part of a horseshoe that funnels drivers back on to Old Frederick Road. If he was leaving Duffy's, a restaurant that is well know to him, how did he end up on side streets across the way from the restaurant? Clay told me today that time elapsed between when he left the restaurant and when he returned to the area; he said he was driving to a friend's house and got lost, turning on to Seigwart Lane to head the other way on Old Frederick Road.

-If Clay fought with officers and even drove at a lieutenant who stepped in front of Clay's car in an effort to pull him over, why aren't those offenses reflected in the charges? Wouldn't that be resisting arrest, fleeing and eluding, or even attempted murder, some wonder? Police don't typically forgive suspects who drive vehicles at them. Like the blood alcohol test, though, police supporters would argue that if appropriate charges were not filed, its more sloppiness than a conspiracy.
