A bloke who was said to have been arrested a ‘world record 1,300 times’ has died at the age of 74, with his dozens of mugshots charting a life of tragedy.
Henry Earl, from Lexington, Kentucky, gained internet fame for his frequent brushes with the law. The one-man crimewave committed the majority of his offences while under the influence of alcohol.
However, records on the repeat offender only date back to 1992 when the Division of Community Corrections of Lexington Fayette Urban County Government began booking digitally. It was therefore speculated that his prolific criminal history dates back to the 70s, bringing his arrest tally up to 1,500.
It is also believed he spent a total of 6,000 hours behind bars, which makes the amount of offences he managed to cram in outside of prison all the more staggering.
