Norris Clayton was a classmate of Veronica's at Neptune High. During middle school, he earned a reputation as a thug and a bully. He relentlessly picked on Pete Kaminski, taking his lunch money everyday. He does have a softer side, shown when he scared away another bully who was spitting spit balls at Veronica. Several years after graduation, Norris takes a job as a Sheriff's deputy, and is one of the few honest employees of the Department. He clearly expressed his doubts about the department's competence to Veronica when they meet there. ("The Thousand Dollar Tan Line")
