Baton Rouge Man Sentenced to 18 Months in Federal Prison for Escape

In 2022, Deshawn Henderson, age 26, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was convicted for possessing firearms by a convicted felon. In February 2024, prior to completing his sentence, Henderson was assigned to City of Faith Residential Reentry Center, a community corrections facility located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to serve the remainder of his federal sentence. On the evening of April 1, 2024, employees at City of Faith directed Henderson to submit to a urinalysis and a breath analysis. While he was being escorted to a security trailer at the facility to be tested, he became irate and began to damage the interior of the security trailer. Shortly thereafter, the defendant exited the facility without permission and did not return. Henderson’s whereabouts remained unknown for about 14 days, when he surrendered to the U.S. Marshals Service on the evening of April 15, 2024.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stephen R. Vick, Jr.
