Gregory Lance Henderson: 31-year-old Columbus, Ga., man suspected in killing of Alabama deputy has a long criminal record in Georgia.AUBURN, Ala. — The man accused of killing a Lee County sheriff’s deputy has a long arrest record in Georgia, dating back to 1995, the Opelika-Auburn News reports.
Records received this week from the Columbus (Ga.) Police Department and the
Georgia Department of Corrections, show how Gregory Lance Henderson,
31, of Columbus, has been breaking numerous laws for nearly 15 years.
Henderson has been held in the Russell County jail for the past three
weeks, charged with killing deputy James Anderson Sept. 24 during a
traffic stop in the Smiths Station area. Alabama does not allow bond in
capital murder cases.
The records received by the Opelika-Auburn News show Henderson was most recently incarcerated at Hays State Prison in Trion, Ga., for aggravated assault. He was also charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine and a motor vehicle law violation. He served 14 months of a 3-year sentence, according to records on the state DOC Web site.
Those involved in the murder case against Henderson are prohibited from talking to the media or public about it, since a temporary gag order was put in place Wednesday.
