TELE-FOLKS DIRECTORY: SONNY DRYSDALE

Adonis "Sonny" Drysdale was a dissipated playboy and the stepson of Beverly Hills banker Milburn Drysdale.  But Sonny didn't spend all of his time in Beverly Hills....  After all, he was a Yale man!  He was also a frequent visitor to New York City and called its many bars, saloons, and cocktail lounges "home".

Sonny was in the Big Apple in May of 1959 when Detectives Jimmy Halloran and Frank Arcaro recovered two missing bloodhounds near Central Park.  Sonny was so drunk that he mistook the dogs for rather small carriage horses.

And so he was brought in to the 65th station house to be booked on a drunk & disorderly charge.
