Henry
The arrest is the third since December for Henry, who was already facing possible league sanctions under the terms of the NFL personal conduct policy. Henry is also the second Bengals player arrested this week. Rookie linebacker A.J. Nicholson, a fifth-round selection in the April draft, was charged Saturday with burglarizing the apartment of a former Florida State teammate.
Sgt. Kevin Long of the Ohio State Patrol said Henry was stopped on Interstate 275, on the east side of Cincinnati, at 1:18 a.m., after being clocked driving 82 mph in a 65 mph zone. Because officers detected the odor of alcohol, a field sobriety test was conducted, and Henry was subsequently transported to the Milford, Ohio police station.
Long said that Henry registered a .092 reading on the blood-alcohol test. The legal limit in Ohio is .08.
"Mr. Henry agreed to the test and he was polite, courteous and cooperative the entire time," Long said, citing the police report. "He was issued a traffic citation and he [eventually] left with a friend. There was no bail involved and he was issued a court date."
Henry is scheduled for a Friday appearance in Clearmont County Municipal Court. The speeding charge, Long said, is a minor misdemeanor. The OVI charge is a first-degree misdemeanor. Any fines or further sanctions resulting from the incident will be determined by the court.
Citing club policy, Bengals public relations director Jack Brennan on Sunday afternoon declined comment on the Henry arrest.
Henry, 23, faces a felony gun charge in Florida stemming from a Jan. 29 incident in which he allegedly possessed a firearm outside an Orlando nightclub. Henry is charged with possession of a concealed firearm in that incident, a third-degree felony in Florida, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Two other charges from that incident, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and improper exhibition of a weapon, were dropped.
Last week, Henry's trial date on the concealed weapon charge was delayed until late August. The trial was originally to have started last Tuesday. A pretrial hearing will be convened Aug. 8.
In December, the former West Virginia University standout was arrested in Covington, Ky., and charged with possession of marijuana. Henry pled guilty to the charge to avoid jail time, paid a fine of $250 and agreed to spend 28 days in a drug rehabilitation program, a stipulation which he has already completed.
A third-round choice in the 2005 draft, and the 83rd player selected overall, Henry signed a five-year, $2.79 million contract that included a signing bonus of $865,000. He quickly earned a spot as Cincinnati's No. 3 wide receiver, behind starters Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, a key role in an offense that often relies on spread-type formations.
Henry appeared in 14 games, starting five, and had 31 receptions for 422 yards and six touchdowns.
Under the NFL personal conduct policy, he could be subject to a fine, a suspension, or both.

Bengals' Henry again in hot water
Receiver pulled over for speeding, drunken driving early Sunday.
By the Associated Press
MOUNT CARMEL — Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was cited for speeding and drunken driving early Sunday after Ohio Highway patrolmen pulled him over in suburban Cincinnati.
<!--endtext-->
<!-- inset --> <!--begintext--> The second-year player was clocked at 82 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 275, said Sgt. Craig Cvetan, an Ohio Highway Patrol spokesman. Henry, 23, registered a blood-alcohol content of .092 on a breath test, Cvetan said. The legal limit is .08.
Henry, 23, cooperated with investigators, who issued him a citation and released him into a friend's custody, Cvetan said. The player has an initial appearance set for Friday in Clermont County Common Municipal Court to face the misdemeanor charges.
Messages were left Sunday afternoon with Henry's lawyer, David Fussell, and his agent, John Frederickson. The Bengals said they wouldn't comment until the case is resolved.
Henry was charged in January with pulling a pistol on a group of revelers in downtown Orlando, Fla. Officers found a 9 mm Luger on the back seat of a limousine and a loaded magazine in a gutter where Henry was standing, according to police reports.
He pleaded not guilty to a charge of carrying a concealed weapon and is set for trial Aug. 21.
Henry avoided jail time on marijuana charges from a December arrest in Kentucky after pleading guilty and agreeing to enter a drug rehabilitation program. Prosecutors had considered letting him settle the charges by going into a diversion program, but changed their minds after his Orlando arrest.
Henry had 31 catches for 422 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie last season, when he developed into the Bengals' No. 3 receiver behind Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Henry's latest arrest came a day after linebacker A.J. Nicholson, 21, was charged with grand theft and burglary, both felonies, in a break-in at a former Florida State University teammate's apartment in Tallahassee, Fla. Nicholson, the Bengals' fifth-round draft pick in April, also was charged with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, and posted $15,500 bond. His initial court appearance was set for today.

More trouble for Bengals' Henry
Wide receiver arrested, charged with DUI, speeding in Union Twp.
BY MARK CURNUTTE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
<!--ARTICLE BODY TEXT--> Just as he appeared to be putting some of his legal problems behind him, Chris Henry has another one.
The second-year Bengals wide receiver was arrested Saturday and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding.
Henry was stopped at 1:18 a.m. Saturday by an Ohio Highway Patrol Trooper Michael Shimko. Henry was traveling 82 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 275 North, according to the police report.
<script language="JavaScript"> OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1'); </script>
After pulling Henry over in Union Township, Clermont County, the officer said he smelled the odor of alcohol about Henry and his vehicle and administered field sobriety tests. At that time, the officer determined Henry was under the influence of alcohol and placed him under arrest.
Henry was taken to the Milford Police Department, where, at 2:06 a.m., he voluntarily submitted to a breath test. He measured .092 in blood-alcohol content. The legal limit in Ohio is .08.
Henry was released to the custody of a friend, police said. Henry will appear Friday in Clermont Municipal Court. Police also said Henry was polite in his dealings with the officer.
The DUI charge is another legal blemish for Henry and the Bengals.
Last week, Henry's trial for carrying a concealed firearm earlier this year in Orlando, Fla., was moved to Aug. 21, according to Orange County (Fla.) court records. Henry, 23, was arrested Jan. 28 in Orlando and charged with possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm.
A pretrial conference is set for Aug. 8 in Florida's 9th Judicial Circuit Court.
According to the police report, he was a member of a party riding in a limousine that got into a conflict with another group.
Henry allegedly pulled a 9mm Luger from the waistline of his pants, pointed it at someone on a downtown Orlando sidewalk and then tossed the gun back into the limo.
In December, Henry was arrested on charges of marijuana possession in Covington. He pled guilty to the charge but avoided jail time by entering a drug rehab program as a part of his plea agreement.
The Bengals had no comment Sunday on Henry's latest arrest, though coach Marvin Lewis was said to be aware of it. The Bengals' policy is not to comment on charges against any of their players while the legal process is ongoing.
Depending on the results of the Florida case, Henry could face additional disciplinary action from the NFL that would go beyond possible court sentencing.
On Saturday, rookie linebacker A.J. Nicholson returned to Florida to meet with law enforcement officials. He was charged with burglary and grand theft (both felonies) and vandalism (a misdemeanor). He was being held at the Leon County jail on $16,000 bond. Nicholson is scheduled to appear today before a judge.
Nicholson, 21, and another former Florida State player allegedly stole about $1,700 worth of electronic equipment from the Tallahassee, Fla., home of Florida State running back Lorenzo Booker and his two roommates last month.
Tallahassee police had issued three warrants for Nicholson, the Bengals' fifth-round draft pick who led the Seminoles in tackles the past two seasons.
The Bengals have declined further comment on Nicholson's case.
