Henry Drogan was a civilian blue collar worker who'd trekked to Las Vegas to join Randall Flagg's new community in The Stand. He is charged with freebasing cocaine and sentenced to death by public crucifixion. Though it seems no one caught him in the act of using, the characters that carry out his sentence believe that Flagg used his unexplainable intuition to perceive that Heck was breaking the law. The crucifixion is carried out publicly, with the entire population of the community required to attend. Lloyd leads the group and has Trashcan Man assist. Trash holds down one of Heck's arms so it can be nailed to the crossbar. While Heck screams in terror and pain, Lloyd offers Heck's black glass stone to Trash. The crowd stays for a significant amount of time, watching Heck die.
