    From the Washington Post: (washingtonpost.com)

    On surrendering to California authorities, Mr. Cleaver pleaded guilty to assault after prosecutors dropped attempted murder charges against him in the 1968 police shootout. He was placed on probation and directed to perform 2,000 hours of community service.

    In the years since then, he had designed a line of men’s trousers with a strategically placed attachment called the “Cleaver sleave,” worked as a tree surgeon and sold clay flowerpots. He ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in the 1986 California Republican primary.
