Correction: JJ got one fact wrong. The Robert Shuler Smith campaign paid Henderson $1,100 in May and June of 2015 for "consulting". However, Henderson was not the campaign manager. If JJ gets it wrong, it admits it and puts it at the top of the page. The post has been changed to reflect the correct information.
Updates: posted at end of story.
Robert "Too Sweet" Henderson, Jr. was arrested yesterday for two counts of conspiracy to bribe a public official and is currently a tenant at the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond.:
Too Sweet was one of Frank's boys back in the day. Too Sweet was paid $1,100 for consulting services by Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith's campaign last year.* He was pardoned by Governor Barbour. Here is the criminal record for our pardoned drug dealer:
2/27/97: Violation of Probation, Contempt of Court, Disorderly Conduct
7/10/96: Possession of C/S (controlled substance)
11/10/95: Possession of cocaine, contempt of court

3/2/92: Receiving stolen property
9/6/91: Possession of cocaine
3/18/91: Auto theft
1/15/91: Possession of cocaine
9/20/90: Possession of cocaine
Too Sweet has the following convictions:
Three years for possession of cocaine with intent. Pled guilty on 5/26/92. Indictment #92-1-090-00.
Three years for possession of cocaine. Two years was suspended. 3 years probation. Pleaded guilty on 11/21/97. Probation ended in 2002. Was fined $2,000.
One year for receiving stolen property. Sentenced on 12/5/97.
His MDOC ID Number was 98630.
Kingfish note: Hmm..... now who just pleaded guilty to bribery, worked for the District Attorney, and admitted to working with an unnamed co-conspirator?
Update (8/1/2016): Attorney General Jim Hood issued the following press release:
Jackson Man Arrested for Conspiracy and Bribery of Public Official
Jackson, Miss.- Attorney General Jim Hood announced today that a Jackson man was arrested Friday for bribery of a public official and conspiracy following a joint investigation by the Attorney General’s Office and the FBI.
Robert Henderson, 44, is accused of offering a former Hinds County assistant district attorney $500 in exchange for dismissal of charges against three criminal defendants. Henderson is charged with one count of bribery of a public official and one count of conspiracy to bribe a public official. Henderson was booked into the Hinds County Jail. Hinds County Justice Court Judge Frank Sutton set Henderson's bond at $5,000 for bribery of a public official and $5,000 for conspiracy for a total of $10,000.
Henderson is alleged to have offered the bribe to then-Hinds County Assistant DA Ivon Johnson on or about June 15 of this year. Henderson is accused of seeking Johnson’s assistance in having cases dismissed involving three criminal defendants.
Update (8/3/2016): The bond order is posted below. The Hinds County Public Defender's office recused itself from representing Henderson since some of the criminal defendants accused of paying bribes were represented by the same office.

starting to make sense.
It appears that the chickens are coming home to roost.
Seems to me he was running a campaign for former Councilman Fran Bluntson and drove a big SUV with Madison County Plate. Am I mis-remembering?
Thanks, Haley! You always did what's best for Mississippi.
There appears to be a common eyebrow theme among this conspirators.
It really is time for eyebrows to resign
Bubba, Bobo, and "Big" Mo can't wait for Too Sweet to get to the big house.
I,m supprised Haley,s ass isnt in in jail.
Is this the same Robert Henderson who has the "What's Really Going On" radio show on Friday nights on 90.1?
I cant believe Haly<s friend Trent is not in jail!
Too Sweet is a great guy..
Is there a link for managing Shuler-Smith's campaign?
The mention in the post just takes me to a list of Barbour's pardonees.
@4:17
He sure is if you are looking to get bribed
So let's try and do a chronology, Smith gets arrested for helping criminal defendants, one of his prosecutors pleads guilty to accepting bribes to help criminal defendants and now his campaign manager is arrested for bribing a public official (I assume to help criminal defendants). Anyone else see a pattern here??
Oh yeah, 4:35. The fat lady ain't even humming yet.
Anybody have a decent explanation as to why Haley would pardon this man? I mean, really.
Delta November
Do you mean "Delta Kilo?"
6:29, maybe the pardon involved a payoff. That's the only way to explain a lot of Barbour's pardons.
His life trajectory is on the way down.
Haley could care less what you think of him. He sucking suds with the high rollers.
@6:29 Kingfish answered you question.

Is That WHY Barbour didn't pardon the Scott Sister?
I normally read this blog and don't comment. However, Kingfish you have the facts wrong. Too Sweet was not Robert Smith's campaign manager. Smith's family have always managed his campaign. To my knowledge Too Sweet only knocked on doors and put out yard signs like many other Robert Smith supporters. I'm proud to say that I am one of those DA Robert Smith supporters.
9:27, you might think before admitting you are a supporter of the DA. It doesn't say much for your judgement or morals.
@9:27
Too Sweet was up at the DA's office everyday. I work at the courthouse and saw him all the time.
Haley had a guy contacting people and giving them an amount for pardons. How do I know? I know a guy who was contacted. After spending months trying to get a pardon for a constituent, this guy gets contacted, is given an amount. My friend asks the guy who is seeking the pardon if he wanted to do it. The guy said no way.
9:55, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Haley was for sale to the highest bidder. Name a politician that isn't. If you can come up with a single name that would be the real surprise.
Guess he won't make his nephew's accused killer's trial, which should be coming up in the next few weeks. That is, unless Robert Smith's troubles screw the trial schedule up.
@9:55 - if you 'really' have such facts then you should turn them over to the fibbies. But of course, you don't have any facts, just some bar talk you and others supposed. I'm calling b/s on your claim.
Do people think calling a bs on some remark is worth the time it takes to post it? It might be bs or it could be that you don't know what the conversation is about. How about people who think something is bs show how they came to that conclusion?
12:40 what a brilliant idea. Dare I say, genius! And there it was, he saw it ripening on the tree, he plucked the idea from the branch of knowledge. He held it up for all to see. He felt power with his prize. He spoke but no words came out. He was ashamed. Lol. Of course someone was contacted. This is he most corrupt state in the country, or haven't you heard?
Calling bs on an libelous accusation is worth every bit as much for the time it takes to post it - and worth much more than a comment such as 2:26's that assumes every politician is a crook and taking bribes for their actions. If someone has knowledge of such a bribe, they should take action to do something about it, not just throw the crap against the wall on a blogsite.
Assuming for a moment that Haley is every bit as crooked, devious, stupid, evil and tainted as some of you suggest...just how damned stupid do you fools think a man would have to be to 'sell' pardons in that manner today?
You've obviously read too much Louisiana Politics Fiction.
An anonymous calling of BS? ROFLMAO
Libelous claimz
Kospeeracee theories
Wing nuts
Crack pots
Can't prove shit.
All acceptable forms of rebuttal here on JJ.🙈
4:40, if you will notice there have been several politicians that people have taken action and tried to do something about it. Please check out all of the times people have reported one politician that is now running for president. Count the number of law suits and investigations. Then look at what happened.
