** For a given definition of "friend." One of the escaped convicts served under Sergeant Luke Duke in the Marines. Luke even sent him to the brig. The two convicts hide out at the Duke farm.
** At one point Benson forces Luke to drive him into town to buy some ammo. They run into a roadblock and Benson tells Luke to introduce him as an old friend from the Marines instead of trying to find a way around it, which would look suspicious. Benson calls himself "Parker" and acts like a good ol' boy in front of Enos.

Although clearly unhinged from spending years in prison, possibly for playing the lesser role in an armed robbery, there are also signs that he didn't really want to escape prison, much less with the clearly dominant, psychopathic Benson.
