Frank Tenpenny was born in an unknown location in the [[United States of America]] and, at some point prior to [[1992]], he joined the [[Los Santos Police Department]], later being promoted to head of its [[C.R.A.S.H.|Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums]] (C.R.A.S.H.) division. Tenpenny, during this time, also got married and met [[Carl Johnson]]. Tenpenny, after joining C.R.A.S.H. began to see his job more as to maintain the status quo, or as Tenpenny states 'percentages', rather than attempt to shut down the gangs, often temporarily aiding gangs in their affairs against their strong rivals. Tenpenny was joined in C.R.A.S.H. by [[Eddie Pulaski]], a good police officer who became corrupt under Tenpenny's influence, and [[Ralph Pendelbury]]. Pendelbury, however, could not be swayed from his stance against their actions and began to give evidence to internal affairs, later leaving the division. Pendelbury was replaced by [[Jimmy Hernandez]] who was initiated into Tenpenny's ways by when, at gun point, he was forced by Tenpenny to [[The Introduction|kill Pendelbury]]. | Frank Tenpenny was born in an unknown location in the [[United States of America]] and, at some point prior to [[1992]], he joined the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|Los Santos Police Department]], later being promoted to head of its [[C.R.A.S.H.|Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums]] (C.R.A.S.H.) division.

Tenpenny begins to go to [[Big Smoke's House|Big Smoke's house]] in [[Idlewood]] and meets Johnson [[Running Dog|briefly]] but [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|meets him again]] at Smoke's house where Tenpenny reminds Johnson he knows 'everything' about him and that he has his eye on him. Smoke, however, brushes these off by saying that Tenpenny won't leave him alone due to his connections with the Grove Street Families and has Johnson help him kill [[Los Santos Vagos]] gangsters making a deal with the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. Johnson also meets Tenpenny, alongside Pulaski and Hernandez, at [[Ryder's House|Ryder's house]] in [[Grove Street]] where he tells them of a [[Catalyst|train loaded with weapons]] coming into the city, which Johnson and Ryder then attack, taking the weapons. | Tenpenny begins to go to [[Big Smoke's House|Big Smoke's house]] in [[Idlewood]] and meets Johnson [[Running Dog|briefly]] but [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|meets him again]] at Smoke's house where Tenpenny reminds Johnson he knows 'everything' about him and that he has his eye on him.

Tenpenny, after helping Big Smoke and Ryder, begins to put pressure on Johnson to work for him and first uses his leverage to have Johnson [[Burning Desire|kill]] a [[Los Santos Vagos]] 'cop-killing' gangster, which Johnson does. Tenpenny, in exchange for Carl helping him with the Vago, gives him the [[Gray Imports|opportunity to disrupt]] a deal between the Ballas and [[Russian Mafia]], which CJ takes full advantage of. Johnson then begins to work with others but is later [[Cell Phone|called]] by [[Cesar Vialpando]], his [[Kendl Johnson|sisters]] boyfriend and the [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] [[Gang Leaders|leader]], with Johnson joining him in an alleyway in [[Verdant Bluffs]]. Vialpando and Johnson then witness Tenpenny, Pulaski, Smoke and Ryder unveil the green [[Sabre]] used in the killing of Johnson's mother. Johnson then remembers his brother, [[Sweet]], who had gone to [[Mulholland Intersection]] for a shoot-out against the [[Ballas]]. Sweet is shot during the shooting and the [[Los Santos Police Department]] arrest him after they ambush the area. | Tenpenny, after helping Big Smoke and Ryder, begins to put pressure on Johnson to work for him and first uses his leverage to have Johnson [[Burning Desire|kill]] a [[Los Santos Vagos]] 'cop-killing' gangster, which Johnson does.
