Plot hole: The deputies take down or compare the license plate number of the truck and say they'll be back with a warrant. A warrant for who? After Tom got clubbed, and they left Tavaris they had the truck stopped right there cleared them, and they left. So for no other reason but to close the movie would deputies just stumble upon a truck that's already been cleared proclaiming they would be back with a warrant. It makes no sense. (01:54:00)
