He’s back.

Gregory S. Duncan — a truant when it comes to court and a bruiser when it comes to people who defend gay friends — is in the Douglas County Jail.

He will be sentenced Wednesday for committing a hate crime in the Old Market — and this time, he’ll be at his hearing, barring a jailbreak.
After Duncan skipped his last sentencing hearing May 13, Judge Leigh Ann Retelsdorf issued a warrant for him. He was picked up last week, apparently in the Omaha area.

Duncan, a part-time Kansas City and part-time Omaha resident, faces up to five years in prison.
