Yeah, I'm sure they really missed you after you were fired after your arrest.

Ellahzar Rashad Henson was arrested during the Ft. Myers, Florida sting in the spring of 2006. He was charged with attempted lewd and lascivious battery of a victim between 12 and 15 years of age, as well as obscene communication - use of a computer to seduce and solicit a child. Henson is a bit of a strange case because after never making bail, he bounced between lawyers (even representing himself at one point), and proceeded to submit motion after motion, delaying the resolution of the case. The end result was that he spent over two years sitting in jail, hoping for an acquittal at trial so that he could avoid the plea deal that would put him on the registered sex offender list. He was found guilty at trial, and he was sentenced to 26 months in jail (with credit for all the time served), two years probation, and he had to register as a sex offender, the thing he most wanted to avoid.
