History[]
When Ray and Donna attend his father Amos's funeral, his aunt Lillian "Lil" Trotter tells him that she has a son - Mickey. The youth was rude and stand-offish, mouthing off at his mother and causing Ray to grab him by the collar. He told Mickey he should be more respectful towards his mother, but Mickey would have none of it, and left. Aunt Lil told Ray about Mickey. Ever since leaving high school, he had drifted from one job to another. Whilst out for a drive, Ray and Donna pulled into a gas station, and found Mickey manning the pumps. Ray and Donna told Mickey off about his surly attitude, and Mickey informed them he is on probation for stealing cars, and that the money from the job was going towards paying off the damages on a car he wrecked. His mother knew nothing of it. Ray believed he could get Mickey back on the right track, and offered the boy the chance to go back to Southfork with him, after speaking with the judge.
