Man Arrested For Failure To Appear For Bad Checks, Including Bad Check To Courts
May 18, 2009
A man living in Molino wanted for failure to appear on bad check charges — including a bad check to the Escambia County Clerk of the Courts — has been arrested.
Henry Lloyd Thompson III, 39, was arrested Friday and was being held in the Escambia County Jail on $2,000 bond on a charge of failure of a defendant on bail to appear. He gave deputies an address of 4273 Suncrest Lane, Molino.
Thompson was originally arrested on May 19, 2008, on multiple worthless check charges. He was charged with writing seven bad checks to Trisha’s One Stop totaling $1,530 and one bad check for $103.81 to Tom Thumb.
Thompson was also charged with writing an $85 worthless check to Ernie Lee Magaha, Escambia County Clerk of the Courts.
He was referred to the worthless check diversion program to allow him to pay restitution on the checks; he only completed the program on the check to the court clerk’s office, according to court records.
A warrant for Thompson’s arrest was issued on September 22, 2008.

ALTHOUGH I dont agree with his choices, its really SAD to say that he will spend more time in jail than a person molesting a child.
One more example of how little we understand our banking system…or..
..another symptom of the dumbing of America…or…
..too much lead in the environment.
But you’ve got to admire the optimism of his world view. Also, now he’s in jail and doesn’t have to buy ANYTHING. We’ll take good care of him, won’t we fellow tax payers?
$2,000 bond…
I wonder if they take checks? lol
what a genuis…this is why you don’t name your children after you.
