The man who seem to have made homes out of American prisons and is now regarded as world’s most arrested man is back behind bars.
Henry Earl, who celebrated his 64th birthday in custody, as he has done for the past three years, has been arrested in Lexington, Kentucky, again.
Earl – who has his own Wikipedia entry and also has websites dedicated to his ever-increasing tally – has been arrested 1267 over the past four decades, The Smoking Gun reported.
“He is somewhat of a superstar in his own little world,” Fayette County Detention Centre Officer John Casey told ABC News in the US.
Earl’s latest arrest was for being drunk outside a fast food venue in Lexington. He was taken to Fayette
County Detention Centre, where he is almost certainly the most well-known of offenders
Earl was first arrested at the age of 20 in Fayette County, Kentucky, in July 1970, for carrying a concealed weapon. He was arrested a further 33 more times in the seventies.
His arrests increased to 230 in the eighties, most for being drunk and being drunk and disorderly.
In the nineties Earl’s arrests increased, mainly because he would spend two days in custody, and reoffend on being released.
He was arrested for the 1000th time in September 2008, a year which saw him put behind bars 35 times.
Now judges in Fayette County detain Earl for longer periods in jail – two to three months for each conviction.
Earl, who has used the alias “James Brown,” has spent a total of nearly 6000 days – nearly 6 and-a-half years – in custody.
