The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles met May 15 and granted parole to one inmate serving time for a Crenshaw County conviction.

Prior to his 2010 conviction, Henegan served time for 1998 second-degree theft of property and second-degree escape convictions from Crenshaw County. In 1993 he was convicted of three felony counts of offenses-personal in Coffee County.

He also served two years for two counts of first-degree theft of property from 1994 Crenshaw County sentences.
