In Early 1956, Elvis was driving his new cadillac down a Memphis street when a teenage boy ran after him on foot.
The boy ran behind the car for several blocks. A policeman noticed the boy chasing the car, thinking the vehicle was stolen and the boy was chasing the theif he turned on his siren and drove after them.
Several yards later both car and runner came to a halt. The policeman fined them both €25. Neither Elvis or the boy knew what the ticket were for, but the boy insisted on paying.
He said it was his fault they were fined and that it was worth paying the €50 for the opportunity to meet his idol.
When Elvis heard the boys reason for chasing him, he took the two tickets and said he would pay for them. The boy ran two miles back home, triumphant at having met Elvis Presley.
