Godspeed, Henry Earl

The world’s most arrested man has died.

Henry Earl, whose criminal history included more than 1500 busts, passed away last week. He was 74.

For the last several years of his life, Earl resided at a nursing home in Owenton, Kentucky, a city about 50 miles from Lexington, where he racked up the majority of his arrests.

  4. The 1,500 busts were quite an achievement for a poor black man under the yoke of white supremacy

  5. If you gotta do something, do it better than anyoneone else. Article kinda slim on details, but it seems he was just a drunk and a load. A modern day Otis Campbell.

  7. I'd like to know if any of the local members of the police and/or justice system attended the funeral. They probably knew him as well as anyone.

  8. Nah, I’m guessing they won’t be missing him much. Slobbering old drunks aren’t as much fun as you might think. Ask me how I know.
