Man arrested 1,000 times

Henry Earl of Lexington, Kentucky has been arrested a thousand times since 1992, and every arrest has been in Lexington.

Arrest number 1,000 came Monday when Earl was arrested for intoxication, the same charge he faced hundreds of times before.

Earl's arrest record has earned him celebrity status. He has been featured on late night talk shows and several Web sites devoted to tracking his arrest record.

Judge Gary Payne sentenced Earl to a thousand days in jail on Tuesday, calling the sentence appropriate, given that it was his thousandth arrest.
