Chris Henry Does it Again!

Per ESPN.com:

 

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry, already facing possible NFL punishment for problems with the law, has been cited by Cincinnati police on three traffic charges including driving with a suspended license.

 

Henry also was ticketed for an alleged improper turn and seat belt violation. His vehicle was impounded after he was stopped March 21, and he paid $100 to retrieve it Monday, court records show. Court action is pending.

 

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan released a statement Tuesday from the team that said, "While the incident involved a minor traffic matter, the club is frustrated that the issue arose at all. ... Chris's overall future with our team can be determined only after this and other pending matters are resolved by the NFL."

 

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said this week that a tougher player conduct policy should be in place before the April 28-29 draft. Henry, suspended for two games by the NFL last season, could face more punishment after settling the last of his earlier four court cases by serving two days in Kenton County (Ky.) jail in January. That was for letting minors drink in a hotel room he had rented.

 

Henry is among nine Bengals players arrested in less than a year. He had four arrests in 14 months, including Josh Gordon possession, a weapon charge, and a drunken-driving count that resulted in a guilty plea to reckless operation of a vehicle.

You are bustin' on him for traffic violations

 

:D

 

 

Driving on a suspended license is not a minor traffic violation. This could be a violation of his probation and if so, he'll be going to the pokey for 88 days.

 

Cincinnati Enquirer Story

 

Henry could face jail

BY KIMBALL PERRY, KPERRY@ENQUIRER.COM | AND MARK CURNUTTE, MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM

 

A Cincinnati traffic ticket could cost Bengals troubled wide receiver Chris Henry 88 days in a Kentucky jail.

 

Henry was ticketed March 21 in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine for driving on a suspended license, not wearing a seat belt and not using a turn signal.

 

Chief prosecutor Ken Easterling of the Kenton County Attorney’s Office said Tuesday a conviction on those charges would be enough to revoke Henry’s Kenton County probation and send him back to jail to serve the rest of his 90-day sentence.

 

 

In Kenton County, Henry pleaded guilty Jan. 25 to providing alcohol to minors. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail but he served two days and the rest of the time was probated.

 

That means Henry didn’t have to serve that remaining jail time if he stayed out of trouble.

Henry, 23, of Florence, was driving a 2005 Cadillac Escalade at 4:32 p.m. March 21 when Cincinnati police pulled him over at 1100 Vine St.

 

If Henry is convicted of any crime in Hamilton County, the Kenton County Attorney’s Office would seek to revoke his probation in Kentucky, Easterling said.

 

Henry’s latest brush with the law won’t help his already shaky chances of avoiding a National Football League-imposed suspension next month.

 

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday the league’s new personal conduct policy – an attempt to stem the tide of some 40 player arrests in 2006 – will allow him to hand out suspensions to players who are repeat offenders.

 

Goodell said some disciplinary hearings already are scheduled for next week in New York. Henry and his former West Virginia college teammate, Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, are believed to be among the players who will appear.

 

Goodell said he would suspend players before the draft, April 28-29, to allow affected teams to adjust their draft plans if necessary. It’s believed that the suspensions could be as long as one year.

 

Goodell suspended Henry for two games during the 2006 season, after he was a passenger in the SUV driven by Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman when Thurman was arrested for DUI. Henry was vomiting out of a back window.

 

Goodell has the support of ownership and the NFL Players Association to act swiftly and sternly.

 

Bengals President Mike Brown had no comment on Henry Tuesday during a break in the NFL annual meeting at the Arizona Biltmore.

 

Henry appeared in Hamilton County Municipal Court Monday, and his vehicle was released after he posted a $100 bond.

 

Without calling Henry by name, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis referred to the troubled wide receiver Tuesday during the AFC coaches’ breakfast at the annual meeting.

 

“It’s a reaction to one particular player who had a run of bad acts, selfish acts, and I don’t think it’s a fair image for the entire thing,” Lewis said when asked for reaction to the commissioner’s new policy. “But anything that goes wrong, any particular breaking of the law, social law, none of it’s good. I think, hopefully, we are all looking at the same thing. I think the only thing that affects this is play time. We have to combine a couple of things (playing time, fines). You have to know coming in that the action is going to be quick and it’s going to get you.”

 

In Kentucky, Henry has fulfilled another part of his Kenton County sentence.

In addition to the jail time and probation, Henry was ordered to work on community service.

 

Henry did that, Easterling said, when he spoke March 7 to students at Holmes High School and Two Rivers Middle School, both in Covington, about making the right decisions in life and “focusing on good people.”

 

Easterling said a letter documenting the community service said Henry also apologized. During his sentencing in Kenton County, District Judge Douglas Grothaus called Henry an embarrassment to the city, his teammates and the team’s owner.

 

Henry was arrested four times in three states between December 2005 and June 2006, for Josh Gordon possession, carrying a concealed weapon, providing alcohol to minor females and DUI. He pleaded guilty to the weapons charge in Florida and to the pot charge in Kentucky; the DUI charge in Clermont County was reduced to reckless operation in a plea deal.

Bustin him over traffic violations? Yep, especially when you're already under a microscope for being a dumbass to begin with.

And maybe he already is a member of Pacman' posse. They're both West Virginia boys. What's up with that?From West Virginia to thugville? :D

Of course!! With all the crap in the news and so much with the Bengals you have to be the biggest idiot to make any mistake right now so everyone should bust on him for being the biggest idiot around.

Maybe you think a convicted drunk driving on a suspended license is funny. I guess I don't.

 

Also, the part of town he was in is best known for drug dealing and prostitution. Just so you all know.

Da nigga jus keepin it real!

 

 

Reminds me about last night. The lady at the register wasn't clearing the merchandise she was ringing up to clear the security monitors at the exit. The two ladies ahead of me were Arabic. The alarm goes off and I was surprised that three uniformed officers didn't tackle these two womens. I think that they were treated different than when it went off for me.

Was he an idiot, certainly ... but lets get real ... they were still traffic violations.
On two of the three charges, the illegal turn and seatbelt, I would agree with you. But driving with a suspended license? I don't put that in the same category of things that most everyone does (or have done) but got away with it. Most of us have done a rolling stop or sped, but how many of us continue to drive on a suspended license?

Agreed. Someone with his background should know to be a lot more careful. Taken by itself, it is not as bad as anything he has done already...but one cannot ignore his history so this "harmless" incident has to be taken in context with the whole of his actions.

 

I am glad to see the team is not sweeping this under the rug...like Blitz is... :D

Yes I guess you are all right ... it would have been better had he beaten his wife, dealt drugs, used drugs, destroyed property, shot somebody, stabbed somebody, or punched somebody

 

 

Are you speaking from experience? :D

The dude tried to make an illegal turn. As in you're not supposed to do that. Just another case of an athlete thinking that laws don't apply to them. The commissioner needs to step in now! This is an outrage!

 

I ran a stop sign the other day that I didnt see. I'm sure the majority of us have made an illegal U Turn. I think you guys are making a mountain out of a molehill.

 

The DUI or DWI that he got was serious, but the other stuff is pretty small in the grand scheme of things...

He hasnt bashed a dancers head on a stage, spit on a women, or get busted with narcotics...

he's already done more than enough just in this blurb -

 

On December 15, 2005 he was pulled over in Northern Kentucky for speeding and Josh Gordon was found in his shoes. He was also driving without a valid driver's license, and without auto insurance. On January 30, 2006, he was arrested in Orlando for multiple gun charges including concealment and aggravated assault with a firearm. [1] He was reported to have been wearing his Number 15 Bengals jersey at the time of his arrest. Henry pleaded guilty to in both cases and avoided jail time in both cases.
