Notas del jugador

Harold Joseph, conocido como Stretch, es un veterano de los Chamberlain Gangster Families de South Los Santos y antiguo amigo de Franklin Clinton y Lamar Davis. Lamar admira al OG recién salido de prisión, pero Franklin rechaza las exigencias de respeto y dinero de Stretch. En la reunión que Lamar organiza frente a la casa de la tía de Franklin, Stretch los acompaña a un supuesto trato con los Ballas en Rogers Salvage & Scrap. Es una emboscada por el anterior secuestro de D a manos de Lamar. Al enterarse del motivo, Stretch mata a D y escapa con Franklin y Lamar.

Stretch afirma que arreglará las cosas con los Ballas, aunque prepara un trato de droga en Grove Street para que Lamar sea estafado y quede expuesto ante los Original Covenant Ballas. Trevor Philips descubre que la cocaína es falsa y convierte el intercambio en un tiroteo. Franklin acusa después a Stretch de haber preparado la trampa, pero él lo niega y culpa de todo a la presencia de Trevor. Cuando Franklin empieza a robar coches para Devin Weston, Stretch también lo llama para exigir una parte del dinero.

Más adelante, Stretch envía a Lamar a una reunión de droga en Paleto Forest Sawmill, donde los Ballas lo secuestran. Franklin, Michael De Santa y Trevor asaltan el aserradero y devuelven a Lamar a casa. Franklin le revela a Lamar que Stretch los ha estado tendiendo trampas desde la emboscada del desguace, y advierte a Stretch que no vuelva a cruzarse con él. En The Third Way, Lamar ayuda a Franklin a encontrar a Stretch en una fundición de los Ballas. Franklin y Lamar atraviesan a tiros a la banda y matan a Stretch dentro del edificio.

Curiosidades

◆It is possible to knock Stretch's cap off, and originally he didn't even wear the cap at all. He is only seen wearing his cap in The Long Stretch.
◆His "SA" cap is a hint to his betrayal, as aside from green "SA" graffiti seen around South Los Santos, this logo is only seen on Ballas clothing. This logo appears to be based on the Los Angeles Dodgers logo.
◆The player can have Franklin call Stretch after certain missions. These conversations will initially start off civil before turning into heated arguments over their current situations, while after Lamar Down, they officially break off their friendship because of what Stretch did to Lamar.
◆If he is killed via melee attack in The Third Way, the news reports following his death will still say that Stretch died in a gunfight. This is likely an oversight.
◆It's possible that Stretch's age could be at around his 40s, since in the mission The Long Stretch, Franklin says to Stretch, "Damn, man, I gotta spend my day with another middle-aged fool trying to recapture his youth?". He says this line to Stretch, which he then asks Franklin to rephrase what he just said, clearly implying a disagreement with Franklin's statement knowing that he is older.
◆To further prove this, Franklin's line makes reference to Michael as the "middle-aged fool trying to recapture his youth" as well as Stretch. Michael's age is 48 years old according to his D.O.B. on his tombstone, stating his birth year as 1965.
