Also known as: Dave or David Jon

From the Hammond Times, 5 December, 1966:
Sunday night from the Scot Drugs store, 5255 Cleveland St., Lake County police said. Pharmacist David Knibbs told police the men entered the store about 9 p.m. Each carried a hand gun and wore a mask. One other employe and a customer witnessed the robbery. Neither was identified by police. Knibbs said he was forced to open the store safe. The robbers emptied it and a cash register, stuffing cash and drugs into a shopping bag. Knibbs said the gunmen apparently were familiar with the operation of the store; they knew the location of the safe and drugs. When the robbers left, they walked through an adjacent field and fled in a blue-green........
