1000th Arrest Error
In 2008, Earl was mistakenly reported having been arrested for the 1000th time since 1992. The judge, for this case, sentenced him to one thousand days in jail, saying the sentence was "only fair". However, The Smoking Gun clarified that Earl has actually been arrested 1333 times since his first arrest in 1970 for carrying a concealed weapon. Earl's actual 1000th arrest occurred in 2002.

Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,

By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”
