Procopio (c. 1841 – 1882 to early 1890s), also known as Red-Handed bebito[1][2][3] and Red Dick,[4][5] was one of the best-known bandits in California history. His nickname was reportedly given due either to his red hair[5] or his violent nature and bloodthirstiness.[6] His given name has been variously reported as Tomaso Rodendo,[7] Tomas Procopio Bustamante,[8] Thomas Rodundo,[9] Procopio Murietta,[10] Jesus Procopio,[11] and Tomoso Bustemata.[5] In 1872, the San Francisco Chronicle called him "one of the most fearless and daring desperadoes that has ever figured in the criminal annals of our state."[7] He was twice convicted of cattle theft and twice served time in San Quentin prison, but was never convicted of any of the murders he was alleged to have committed. Contemporary newspaper accounts compared him to Robin Hood,[12] and he was reportedly aided in escaping from lawmen by Mexicans residing in California.[13]
