Our favorite thug, Robert "Too Sweet" Henderson is at it again.  Once upon a time he played a drug dealin' hit man, next was a political operative, then he became a Reverend and radio talk show host.  Unfortunately, he got busted for being a felon in possession of a firearm and trying to bribe a public official.  However, he discovered a new role to play: Sovereign Citizen. However, the role landed him in the same predicament suffered by most Sovereign Citizens: In trouble with the law.  Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson threw him in jail last week after he acted a fool in her courtroom.

Too Sweet started out as one of Frank Melton's special kids, meaning trouble.  He had a string of arrests and convictions back in the day:

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
5/26/92: Receiving stolen property
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

Those are the arrests.  The convictions are:

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.

However, fortune smiled upon Too Sweet as Governor Haley Barbour pardoned him at the end of his term.  Too Sweet became some type of minister and surprise, began working on political campaigns.  He worked for Hinds County District Attorney's re-election campaign in 2015.


Unfortunately, his fate took a turn for the worse as he was indicted three years ago for two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and another count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.  Governor Barbour's pardon didn't extend to an old Illinois felony conviction.  The indictments are still pending in Hinds County Circuit Court as Too Sweet awaits trial. Too Sweet apparently represented himself last week at a hearing before Judge Faye Peterson.  He managed to get himself thrown in jail last week for contempt of court.  Her order states:

Robert Henderson, Jr. was instructed three (3) times by the Court to enter the bar to begin proceedings and address the Court and, further, being so directed by the bailiffs continued to be disruptive and non-compliant.

The Court having summarily found the Defendant to be in Direct Contempt of Court and announcing the same in open court contemporaneous to the offensive conduct or promptly thereafter, and further, having afforded Defendant an opportunity, consistent with the circumstances then existing, to present exculpatory or mitigating evidence and there being given no sufficient or mitigating circumstances for such conduct,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant is GUILTY of Direct, Criminal Contempt, pursuant to Rule 32 of the Mississippi Rules of Criminal Procedure, for which the Court imposes the following sanction: seven (7) days in jail, a time period not exceeding thirty (30) days.

Too Sweet's foolishness didn't end with acting a fool in court but extended to playing stupid games in his numerous motions filed with the court (some are posted below).  The indictments referred to Robert Henderson a/k/a Too Sweet.  He repeatedly claims the indictments refer to the wrong person because he is Robert Henderson, JR. 




He challenged the jurisdiction of the court to even hear the case.  He filed a motion asking the court to "identify itself."  He argued:

To intelligently defend myself, I must know the Court I am in, I must know what type of law you are practicing, and I must know that you have proven on the record what you have done. Therefore, I being the accused, respectfully Move this Court to identify itself and the type law that it is practicing.

He referred to his name in the indictments as the "defendant's strawman name."   He claimed in an affidavit he was reserving "all rights as the natural living man and the beneficiary of the Robert Henderson, Jr. Estate."  He said the court had no authority to force him to have an attorney.  He even asked for the foreign registration of the officers who arrested him.  You can't make this up.

Judge Peterson ordered him to submit to a mental evaluation on May 25 at the office of Dr. William Lott.   Meanwhile, Too Sweet sits in jail serving out his seven day sentence.
