Chris Henry busted

[EJ72]

These two haven't read three books between them, ever.

Sure they have. At least this one.

[PhillyGirl]

Stop it, Dallas fan.

You know they just looked at the pretty pictures. 

Reading. Heh. Riiight.

That punk is a millionaire. That and his picture me want to punch him in the head.

As the officer told the groups to break it up, he saw Henry pull a gun and point it at the other group. 

(Editor's note:  The fact that Henry would pull a gun in the presence of a cop goes a long way toward explaining his single-digit Wonderlic score.) 

The officer told Henry to drop the gun, and Henry then threw it inside a nearby car.  Although Henry denied having the weapon, police recovered a 9 mm Luger from the vehicle.

The Bengals have issued no comment.  Dennis Janson of WCPO tells us that the team was not aware of the arrest before Janson informed the team of it on Monday afternoon.

Actually, we'd received a tip on Sunday afternoon regarding the arrest.  But when we were told that Henry was wearing his Bengals jersey at the time of the incident, we thought we were being set up with a phony story.

OK... lemme get this straight.

You're an NFL player involved in an argument... and when the cops show up and make their prescence known, you take that moment to decide to pull out a gun and point it at people... and you do so wearing clothing that has YOUR NAME ON IT?!?!?!



Absolutely brilliant.

Chick Ludwig, of the Dayton Daily News, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Chris Henry entered a plea of not guilty following his arrest last weekend on gun charges. A hearing had not been scheduled by the close of business Tuesday, Jan. 31. According to police, Henry came close to getting shot after pointing a gun at revelers along West Central Boulevard in Orlando early Saturday, Jan. 28. He is charged with possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. Henry faces a maximum of 11 years in prison and $11,000 in fines if convicted of all charges.

Based on a tip from a reader, we've confirmed via a league source that Bengals receiver Chris Henry had been living with receivers coach Hue Jackson after Henry's December 2005 arrest on charges of marijuana possession.



Apparently, some relatives and/or friends of Henry either moved in with or near Henry in Kentucky after Hurricane Katrina struck his home state of Louisiana.  Some of these folks apparently weren't the best of influences on him, so after Henry was busted during his rookie season he started bunking with Jackson.



But Jackson could only watch Henry so closely after the season ended.  Based on published reports regarding Henry's most recent arrest, he was spending more time that he should have in Orlando.



Kudos to the Bengals for realizing that Henry needed a full-time babysitter, but shame on the Bengals for not having a better plan to keep him out of trouble before he was set loose on the free world.



Henry slipped to round three of the April 2005 draft due in large part to questions regarding his character.  Some teams even struck him from their draft boards.



And as one league insider told us on Tuesday, "I told you so."

It doesn't sound like they come much dumber than this kid.

[Geowhizzer]

Shame that a 20-something year old "man" should need a babysitter.

It doesn't sound like they come much dumber than this kid.

Have you heard of Terrell Owens?

Bengals | Police and courts: C. Henry

The Associated Press reports Northern Kentucky prosecutors will ask a judge Friday, Feb. 10, to set a trial date for Cincinnati Bengals WR Chris Henry. Police stopped Henry last December and charged him with marijuana possession. Prosecutors had considered letting him go into a diversion program to settle the case, but his recent arrest in Florida made them decide on a trial instead. Henry was arrested in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 28. He faces felony gun counts in that case.
