“I had more cops at my 5th birthday party than the Puerto Rican Day Parade,” says Carter, known to most in his old neighborhood as Dave “The Dopefiend,” the local junkie. “Most people looking at me would have never guessed that.”
Check out the great adventure (you’ll get it, later) that happened when Dave The Dopefiend and a young kid named Ty Jackson crossed paths over at The Urban Daily.
