WOODSTOCK – A man who escaped from the back of a squad car while handcuffed and then eluded capture for more than 12 hours has been sentenced to two years in prison.

James R. Henson, 45, pleaded guilty on Friday to criminal damage to government-supported property, a Class 4 felony. Additional charges, including escape and burglary, were dropped as part of the plea deal accepted by McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham.

With credit for time served, Henson could be released from custody in late February as he is still serving time for parole violations, said his attorney, Bill Bligh.
