Loading them into the trunk of his car and heading for the dump, he was pulled over by the police. He was asked to take a breathalyser for his reckless driving, and the fact that the officer smelled something strange on him. After all was said and done, Dahmer was free to go with only a ticket of careless driving, leaving the murder of Hicks unknown (“Heads in the freezer horror of America’s CANNIBAL
