The Man in the Yellow Suit
The chief law enforcement official in Treegap. He's a friendly and good-natured man who takes pride in his work. He's not thrilled when the man in the yellow suit drags him out of bed in the middle of the night to ride 20 miles to find Winnie, but he tries to make the best of it by attempting to engage the man in the yellow suit in conversation. The constable witnesses Mae hitting the man in the yellow suit, so he arrests her for murder and is proud and excited to be able to lock her up in Treegap's brand-new jail. He's later livid when he finds Winnie in the cell instead of Mae.
