Illinois carjacker, Jordan Henry, gets sentenced to 22 years after bragging he would be out by Sunday

Illinois carjacker gets sentenced to 22 years after bragging he would be out by Sunday.

An Illinois carjacker was sentenced to 22 years in prison after telling officers he'd be "be out [of jail] by Sunday" during his arrest.

In January, Harvey resident Jordan Henry was found guilty of three counts of aggravated vehicular hijacking, two counts of armed robbery, and one count of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, among other charges.

The 29-year-old had attempted to carjack a driver outside a 7-Eleven in February 2022. When the victim fled the scene with their car keys, Henry stole their phone and left in his own car.

After Henry's car tires deflated, he crashed into a grassy area off I-55 and fled on foot. Henry punched a K-9 who followed him before eventually being taken in custody.

Before his trial, Henry was detained on a $1 million bond. Despite being a repeat offender, Henry reportedly bragged to officers that he would be out of jail soon after his arrest.

"During his arrest, Henry told detectives he would ‘be out by Sunday,’" Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said in a statement. "He found out that here in Will County, we prosecute crime and take the public’s safety seriously. This violent offender will finally be off the streets and in prison where he belongs."

Glasgow also posted a picture with the K-9 Henry punched. "As you can see, he is doing fine!" the Facebook post read.

Glasgow described Henry as a "dangerous, violent criminal with a laundry list of prior convictions." Glasgow said: “I think it’s important this case be highlighted since it did occur in the City of Chicago, if he were arrested there, looking at his past history, he probably would have been back out on the street in a short period of time, just like he bragged.

But not this time. Justice was done,” Glasgow asserted,

“A 69-year-old man, puts a gun in his face.

“Now, I want to stress the gun in the face,” Glasgow explained.

“Because, I’ve never had that happen to me and I know, if you’re ever around a gun owner, they always make sure they never point the gun at you.
