-In early 2006, Haynes ended up in a hospital when he was attacked outside a body shop in Portland, OR. This was due to Haynes' skimming off the top while being a mule in a marijuana smuggling operation some years ago. Unbeknownst to him, he was actually smuggling cocaine and not marijuana. Haynes himself admitted the motivation behind the attack on this person since the statute of limitations on the laws he broke had run out.
