Jack Wilson

Jack Wilson was a protagonist in the 1991 television movie In Broad Daylight. He was portrayed by . Wilson was loosely based upon real life Missouri highway patrolman Richard Stratton. 
Wilson was a member of the Missouri Highway Patrol, and was assigned to the northwest corner of Missouri, largely based out of Darby, Missouri. He was familiar with Len Rowan, having spent many years trying to put him away but neither he nor local sheriff Phil Lewis were ever quite able to make any charges stick. Despite Wilson's lack of success in permanently putting Rowan away he was one of the few people that Rowan respected and feared. 
When Rowan shot grocer Wes Westerman an alert went out over radio for people to be on the lookout for Rowan. Aware that Rowan had police scanners in all his vehicles, Wilson advised dispatch to keep radio traffic to a minimum while he set out to intercept Rowan before he could cross into Kansas. 
While hopeful that this would finally be the incident that sent Rowan to prison for a very long time, Wilson tempered his expectations knowing that his lawyer would probably keep him from facing serious consequences. When Rowan's lawyer was able to get him out on bond while appealing his conviction for shooting Westerman, the people of Darby finally had enough and at least two people shot Rowan in broad daylight. Faced with this news, Wilson was not particuarly suprised that Rowan had met with a violent end.

* Wilson's callsign of 507 was the same as the real life Stratton's was when he was with the highway patrol.
