Clint Reno is often referred to as “Honest Clint”—primarily because he didn’t participate in the larger or more violent crimes led by his brothers with the Reno Gang.  But he wasn’t spotless. Clint was arrested on several occasions in the 1870s, most liquor or gambling related.

In later life, he moved his family to Kansas—where he lost his mind, burning down his own house and threatening his wife. Clint Reno died in an insane asylum in 1921, reportedly begging for forgiveness with his last breath.
