A woman, Sandra Lynn Henson, found herself in handcuffs at a Mississippi wedding recently, but she wasn't on the guest list. Henson was apprehended for trespassing, disturbing the peace, and what's known as "petit larceny."

Petit Larceny Explained

Petit larceny is a legal term for stealing things that aren't particularly valuable. In other words, it's the theft of less expensive items.

Multi-State Misadventures

What makes this incident even more intriguing is that Henson was wanted in Alabama when she was arrested. The Pontotoc County Sheriff's Department in Mississippi shared this on social media.

Henson isn't a stranger to the law in multiple states. Police report that she's been arrested in Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi for crashing weddings and stealing.

Wedding-Crashing History

Local media indicates that Henson has a history of gate-crashing weddings, which has gained her quite a reputation.

In 2019, witnesses in Florence, Alabama, reported that Henson helped herself to gift envelopes and money from purses left inside changing rooms. She faced charges of theft, both misdemeanor and felony, in connection with incidents at two weddings.

Legal Troubles

Henson was handed a five-year prison sentence in Mississippi after a Tennessee judge revoked her probation. The specifics of her release remain unknown, and she was originally scheduled to remain incarcerated until 2025, according to AL.com.

The "Mid-South Wedding Crasher"

In 2021, Memphis TV station ABC24 famously referred to Henson as the "mid-South wedding crasher." Her unconventional escapades continue to make headlines across multiple states.
