Henry Earl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Earl (born October 24, 1949) is a homeless African-American man from Lexington, Kentucky who is famous primarily because of his extensive police record, mostly for non-violent alcohol-related offenses.
Henry's rise to fame was in large part due to the fact that the Fayette County Jail had a public web site which listed a person's arrest record and mug shots. Henry Earl had an extensive record, and a wide range of emotions expressed in the mug shots, from despondent to happy. This page was linked to regularly by Internet news blogs - in particular, Fark.com. The web site eventually had to be shut down due to the strain that was placed upon it. Henry has made numerous talk show appearances and has been featured in national and international media venues, including MSNBC, the UK Sunday Mail, and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
On November 16, 2005, it was reported that a 55-year-old black man had died in police custody in Fayette County, prompting speculation that Earl had passed on. The man turned out to be Donald Ross, serving time for public intoxication and third degree assault.
