Some advice for anyone thinking of attending Livestock next year: Don’t wear a bright orange jail uniform. Especially if you stole it. And especially if you are supposed to be on house arrest.

Just ask 25-year-old Korey Bradd Henderson of Lakeland.

Pasco County sheriff’s detective Mark Morrison was working the hard rock festival Sunday, wearing his uniform, when he spotted Henderson walking his way dressed in a bright orange shirt and pants.

As the man got closer, Morrison could make out black letters across the back of the shirt and the leg of the pants: Polk County Jail.

“He stood out in the crowd,” sheriff’s spokesman Jon Powers said. “(Morrison’s) keen police mind said, “Something ain’t right here.’ ”

When Morrison approached, Henderson took off running. “That was his second mistake,” Powers said.

He ran straight into two other deputies, who stopped him. Henderson at first told them the getup was a Halloween costume.

The deputies decided to check that story with the Polk County jail. The jail ran an inventory search and called back with the result: one uniform was missing.

Turns out that Henderson had taken the uniform when he was released from jail in January, Powers said. But that marked only the beginning of his troubles.

A warrants check told deputies that Henderson was supposed to be on house arrest in Lakeland as part of his probation on a charge of illegal possession of Alprazolam, also known as Xanax.

They gave him a trespass warning, confiscated the jail uniform and escorted him from Festival Park. On Monday, deputies called Henderson’s probation officer in Lakeland.

The probation officer said he had visited Henderson at home early Monday, and Henderson said he had stayed around the house all weekend.

By Monday night, Henderson was back behind bars, accused of violating his probation.

Records show he has been arrested four times since 2000, on charges ranging from marijuana possession, to possession of narcotics equipment, to possession of a controlled substance, to driving with a suspended license.

Powers said he still can’t understand what motivated Henderson to wear the jail uniform at an event swarming with deputies.

“If you’re violating your probation,” he said, “the last thing you want to do is draw attention to yourself.”

Henderson remained at the Polk County Jail on Thursday without bond. He was issued a jail uniform.
