History
His main objective was capturing the "Beer Baron", a rum-runner who was actually Homer. When this was finally done by Wiggum, Rex was fired, both from his job as chief, and from the main mechanism of punishment for breaking the ancient prohibition law: catapult.
He is seen briefly when Homer tries to drive his car away from the World Trade Center with a parking boot attached.
Mr. Burns hired him to track down a woman. When he asks to be paid for finding her, Burns pushes a button which opens a trapdoor. However, the trapdoor was under Mr. Burns instead. He is not seen again in this episode.
