I think this is due for another round of consideration. In my view, this is a WP:BLP1E. If it wasn't for his arrest, he would never come close to notability. The problem with articles about people only known for one event is that the article gives undue weight to that one event. When that one event is negative, the article essentially becomes an entirely negative portrayal of its subject. I'm not wedded to a delete outcome here - I find BLP1E a very difficult test to judge. But I don't think the last deletion discussion was particularly well-considered and it is a genuine BLP issue. Note I've notified all the previous AfD participants and the BLP noticeboard.

 * Delete, WP:BLP1E does indeed seem to be the case here. Guy (Help!) 09:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Really about one event, not the person. However, I did not find it so negative and it might be helpful to the person to have his side of the case presented. But still doesn't pass WP:Notable.Borock (talk) 10:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
