Zobelle then tried to force Hale into taking action against SAMCRO by providing surveillance footage of Opie blowing up the meth lab that Hale allowed to operate. SAMCRO, now feeling that Hale had fallen in with Zobelle's group, took the matter into their own hands and destroyed the lab themselves. Although Hale threatened Darby that he would get a warrant to search the property, he instead decided to tell Unser that he investigated SAMCRO's tip and that there was no meth lab. SAMCRO discovered that the Nords were dealing meth in Charming and tipped off Hale, who then visited the property where the meth lab was located. L.O.A.N.'s first illegal action was giving Ernest Darby and the Nords the backing to operate a meth lab in Charming. However, David is so determined to ridding Charming of SAMCRO that he begins to accept Zobelle's assistance (or, at least, turns a blind eye towards L.O.A.N.'s activities) even though he knows that they use more violent tactics than the Sons. David, aware of L.O.A.N's racial beliefs, initially refused Zobelle's help (Jacob, a businessman who hopes to profit from SAMCRO's absence in Charming, is not concerned with L.O.A.N.'s beliefs or methods). Zobelle leads the White separatist group, the League of American Nationals ( L.O.A.N.). At the crime scene, Hale icily informed Stahl, "This blood's on you." But he is likely aware that it is also his fault for starting the whole investigation and for unwisely trusting Stahl.Īt the start of Season Two, Hale is introduced to Ethan Zobelle by his older brother, Jacob, in the hopes of getting SAMCRO out of Charming. When Stahl removed Opie's protective detail, Hale (after much convincing from Unser) decided to inform the SAMCRO that Opie was not a "rat." The information came too late to prevent the murder of Opie's wife, Donna Winston. The two lovers fell out, however, over Stahl's decision to delude SAMCRO into believing that Opie was an informant and her locking Hale out of the investigation. One of their encounters was witnessed by Jax while he was breaking Cherry out of the County Jail. He soon became sexually involved with Agent June Stahl, which is against department regulations. ATF agent Josh Kohn arrives at the station and says that he is working on an interstate weapons case involving the Sons of Anarchy, much to Hale’s delight.Īfter learning that Unser is staying on, Hale calls in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to see if they can circumvent Unser. Later, he stumbles across SAMCRO member Juice Ortiz outside the police station wearing a diaper and threatens to write him up for indecent exposure. Though the police question everyone who could have seen anything, Hale fails to find the rapist. When the bodies disappear from the morgue, Hale tells Clay he will ensure SAMCRO becomes nothing more than a distant memory.Īfter 13 year old Tristen Oswald is raped at the carnival, Hale investigates the crime. Afterwards, he speaks with SAMCRO Vice President Jax Teller, warning him that he will not turn a blind eye to SAMCRO’s crimes when he replaces Unser as Chief.

He discovers the burnt corpses of two Mexican women in the warehouse’s basement. Though Hale butts heads with SAMCRO-allied Deputy Vic Trammel, he takes over the investigation. Hale gets a warrant to investigate the explosion at the Bluebird Assembly Warehouse because, despite the incident happening outside his jurisdiction, the night watchman was killed and dumped inside the Charming city limits.

Though Unser was on the verge of retirement, current SAMCRO President Clay Morrow convinced him to stay on, preventing Hale from assuming the position and becoming a threat to their illicit activities. Hale, however, was motivated to purge Charming of the Sons of Anarchy out of a genuine moral concern. His boss, Chief Wayne Unser was in the pocket of SAMCRO, while his father and his elder brother, Jacob Hale Jr., wanted to push the Sons out of Charming for financial gain. In his youth, he delivered newspapers to many houses, including that of John Teller, President of the local Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, and his wife, Gemma.Īs an adult, Hale joined the Charming Police Department, eventually rising to the rank of Deputy Chief. He drives his own personal off-road police vehicle.ĭavid Hale was born in Charming, California, the second child of Jacob Hale, a very powerful and wealthy county judge. The Chief, Wayne Unser, nicknames him "Captain America" for his black and white views and squeaky clean adherence to the law, and possibly because of his square jawed all-American looks.
