| rdfs:comment | - When Knuckles the Echidna was brought to Backwater City having been accused of trying to kill an Apterix rancher named Rooster, Deputy Krouch agreed to put Knuckles in the town jail cell until the Sheriff got back from out of town. In fact, Boss Krouch has organised the attempt on Rooster's life. When Boss Krouch had some of his men take Knuckles out to be lynched, Deputy Krouch sat back and allowed them to do it, even telling Knuckles that in Backwater "we make our own laws!" Fortunately, the real Sheriff returned just in time to stop the lynching, and he immediately fired Krouch for being "a disgrace" to the Deputy's badge. Sitting in the sand, Krouch whined that he would tell his pa, only for the Sheriff to tell him that "Crying to your pa is about all your good for!"
- Deputy Krouch was called into action during the Apterix rustling of 1996. Rooster, head of one of the area's Apterix breeding teams, was the subject to an assassination attempt by Chito, although the blame was passed onto Knuckles the Echidna, merely an innocent bystander. Knuckles was dragged to the sheriff's office in Backwater, placed instated the prison's one-month old cell from Metropolis City. The laid-back lizard questioned Rooster, with Chito convincing him that Knuckles was the "varmint". Despite having no proof, the young Krouch agreed to wait until the sheriff returned home, despite his father's insistence that Knuckles looked like the real thing.

- Deputy Krouch was called into action during the Apterix rustling of 1996. Rooster, head of one of the area's Apterix breeding teams, was the subject to an assassination attempt by Chito, although the blame was passed onto Knuckles the Echidna, merely an innocent bystander. Knuckles was dragged to the sheriff's office in Backwater, placed instated the prison's one-month old cell from Metropolis City. The laid-back lizard questioned Rooster, with Chito convincing him that Knuckles was the "varmint". Despite having no proof, the young Krouch agreed to wait until the sheriff returned home, despite his father's insistence that Knuckles looked like the real thing. That night, Boss Krouch organised a lynch mob to take Knuckles from the prison and execute the echidna. Deputy Krouch watched on, insisting that the townspeople make their own laws in this area. Fortunately, Knuckles was rescued by the timely arrival of the sheriff, who proceeded to sack Krouch the next day. The ex-deputy threatened to tell his father, but the sheriff merely said that's all he was good for, now a disgrace for letting the lynching happen. With Knuckles given the deputy badge, Krouch Jr. wasn't seen again during the rest of the adventure, presumably lying low while Boss Krouch attempted to kill Rooster.
