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.

Henry then carjacked a 69-year-old Uber driver at gunpoint and stole his Volkswagen Jetta.

When police spotted the stolen vehicle, Henry accelerated and led the police on a highway chase. Henry's car reached speeds over 100 mph.

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.

F*ck him.

The quote seemed made up, so I looked into another article.

Henry was detained on a $1 million bond until his trial. He tried to dismiss the action in Will County, saying that it should be tried in Chicago where the carjacking occurred.


The motion was denied.


"Henry is a dangerous, violent criminal with a laundry list of prior convictions and current outstanding charges including a violent aggravated criminal sexual assault that took place while he was out on bond for other charges. In fact, he committed the crimes in this case while out on bond in Cook County in yet another case, involving the possession of a stolen vehicle," Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said. "The $1 million bond in Will County guaranteed the public’s safety from this violent offender and his appearance in court while he awaited his trial. During his arrest, Henry told detectives he would ‘be out by Sunday.’ 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."


He will receive 424 days credit for time served.


At the time Henry was arrested in Will County, he had been out on a Cook County bond after paying the necessary $1,000 for a possession of a stolen motor vehicle charge.


The case is still pending with an outstanding warrant.


Henry is also currently facing charges in Cook County on two counts of aggravated kidnapping with intent to inflict harm, four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and two counts of aggravated robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery in a public place that allegedly occurred on September 26, 2021.


Additionally, there is an outstanding warrant of arrest against Henry in Lake County, Indiana on a charge of Theft.


Additional cases are pending against Henry in Cook County including fleeing and eluding, reckless driving/disorderly conduct in connection with six companion cases, retail theft, criminal damage to property in an amount less than $500 and various traffic and ordinance violations.


Henry has also been convicted of robbery and retail theft.
