Mingus was arrested during one of his solo “Aeroman” escapades, as Dylan discovered when his father showed him the newspaper. Dylan hunts Mingus down, because he was released, concerned mainly for the ring and for the fact that he had never before really flown in Brooklyn. When he finds Mingus, Mingus is stoned in his house, and doesn’t seem all that concerned about what had happened. The cops apparently thought Mingus had jumped out of a tree, and perhaps he had; I’ve been wondering if their thoughts that they were flying were just an illusion, conjured by their own belief that the ring was granting them powers of flight.
Arthur is there too, and for once he doesn’t seem to be worshipping Mingus, but rather making fun of him, proud that he can do so to a black kid and not get beaten up. The three of them got stoned, and that was the end of it.
