Strickland's deputy
Added by Ross2009- "Get him out of that shit."
- —Deputy
Strickland's deputy worked for Marshal James Strickland in 1885. On September 5, 1885, he was seen at the Hill Valley Festival, warning guests to check their firearms.
On Monday, September 7, Strickland was not available for reasons unknown, and so it was his deputy who arrested Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen for robbing the Pine City Stage.
Behind the scenes
Edit
The reason for Marshal Strickland's absence, and for his deputy being the one to arrest Tannen, was due to a deleted scene where Strickland was shot dead by Tannen. However this scene is only shown in the novelization, and when Tannen is arrested, it is for the murder of Strickland. Strickland is said to have been shot and killed by Tannen in Back to the Future: The Game. However, whether or not he was killed, is still under debate since Back to the Future: The Game is not considered as canon.
