Deputy Sheriff Al Chambers
Background
Al Chambers is the deputy sheriff for Fairvale, California. His wife is Mrs. Chambers.
During the events of Psycho (1960) played by John McIntire
Sam Loomis and Lila Crane go to speak with Al and he tells Al that Arbogast went to Bates Motel to speak with the woman who lives there and Mrs. Chambers assumes he means Norman Bates got married. He and Lila tell the rest of what happened and Al tells them he thinks Arbogast found out where Marion Crane and the money went and went after her. Al calls Norman and Norman tells him Arbogast went to the motel and then left. Al hangs up the phone and tells Lila that Norman's mother has been dead for ten years. He tells her that Norman's mother poisoned her new husband and then herself. Later at the County Court House, Dr. Richmond explains to Lila, Sam, Al, Deputy District Attorney Alan Deats and Chief of Police James Mitchell that he knows what happened, but it wasn't Norman who told him. He explains that Norman, as his mother, murdered not only Marion and Arbogast, but also two young women. He says that Norman became troubled after his father died and murdered his mother and her new husband when he became jealous. He then started murdering women who he became attracted to as his jealous mother. He ends the conversation by saying Norman's mother has become the dominant personality and Norman no longer exists.
