Hart was found and arrested the following year.
Like everyone in the Dead organization in 1970, Garcia was shocked when t heir manager, Lenny Hart - who also happened to be Mickey’s father - absconded with more than $150,000 of the band’s earnings.

But you know, what great man doesn’t have that? His bright side, his ebullient side, far seemed to outweigh. Who knows, but there was a decided darkness to him. “I suppose it had something to do with losing his dad so young, and possibly his finger getting chopped off. “That man had an agony almost that he had to fight,” Hunter said. Nor was he simply “Jolly Jerry,” as his longtime lyrical collaborator, Robert Hunter, told Rolling Stone in a 2015 interview. Over the roughly 35 years that he wrote and recorded songs with the Dead and on his own, Garcia was an uncommonly eclectic musician - equally at home with folk, bluegrass, electronic music, old-timey ballads, country, reggae, and Chuck Berry-style rock & roll. Just as the Grateful Dead were more than just a “jam band,” Jerry Garcia was more than just the affable Captain Trips of the scene. Related: Grateful Dead Ultimate Album Guide
