Henry arrested
By GEOFF HOBSON
December 15, 2005

10:15 p.m.
The Bengals’ break-out season hit its first off-field speed bump Thursday when rookie wide receiver Chris Henry was arrested for possession of marijuana.
The Bengals said the club and the NFL won’t consider action until, “the legal process has run its course.” That, and past cases indicate Henry would be in uniform when the Bengals play in Detroit Sunday.
Henry, about to become the NFL’s leading rookie receiver, was stopped for speeding at 316 Philadelphia St. in Covington, Ky., at 12:46 a.m. Thursday. According to Covington police, when officers smelled marijuana Henry agreed to a search and they found two baggies of the drug in Henry’s shoes.
A police spokesman said Thursday night the charge is a misdemeanor and is punishable up to six months in jail. Typically, the accused has to appear in court in the next two to three weeks. Published reports say Henry is to appear in Kenton District Court 9:30 a.m. Friday and then Dec. 28 for four traffic charges topped by speeding.
Henry, a Rookie of the Year candidate, is a third-round pick out of West Virginia who is one of the starters in the Bengals’ three wide-receiver sets and is their third-leading wide receiver with 30 catches for 395 yards and five touchdowns. Among rookies, he trails only sidelined Browns receiver Braylon Edwards’ 32 catches and 512 yards.
According to league policy, the arrest puts Henry into a treatment plan that can’t exceed 90 days, but can be revised up to six months. If player is charged with criminal activity, he’s required to attend clinical evaluation. Failure to comply with the treatment plan or clinical evaluation can result in a fine or suspension.
A conviction or any admission of guilt can result in a fine, suspension, or banishment from the NFL as called by the commissioner, according to the NFL policy. Henry, 22, practiced Thursday. He has played in 12 straight games since not dressing for the opener.<SCRIPT> <!-- var FiltersEnabled = 1 // if your not going to use transitions or filters in any of the tips set this to 0 applyCssFilter() var link_text=[]; //--> </SCRIPT>

Hope he gets his head on straight. As for the upcoming game vs Detroit and the rest of the stretch to the play-offs, the loss of Chris Perry to injury is of greater concern than the presence or absence of Henry. Kelly Washington or the like can fill in for Henry should that be needed.

I can't say I was totally surprised by this. Of all the players on the team, he would have been my #1 pick to have something like this happen. He just hasn't matured, and learned what it means to act like a professional-hopefully he will. On 700 WLW this morning, they said the cops found two baggies of weed in his shoe-that is just straight ghetto-like when the dealers spit a baggie out of their mouth. That is learned behavior-not something one ordinarily does w/ weed if you have it on you......

He may be in uniform on Sunday, but I hope he doesn't play. As much as it may hurt the team, I think he needs to be benched until he has done his time or his community service or whatever they give him.

With Perry out and now Henry probably out, I'm worried about our chances in the playoffs. But of course, last year at this time I was wringing my hands over an ugly loss to the Bills, so it's not so bad. At least I'm not a Ravens fan.

He didn't play, quite rightly so, and, as I postulated Kelly Washington was called upon to pick up the slack. Nice win for the Bengals.

Bengals' Henry jailed on gun charges
Posted: Monday January 30, 2006 7:55PM; Updated: Monday January 30, 2006 7:55PM


Chris Henry had 31 catches for 422 yards and six touchdowns in his rookie season out of West Virginia.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry was arrested on gun charges in a weekend street altercation, authorities said.

Henry pulled a 9 mm pistol on a group of revelers early Saturday, according to a police report.

An officer directing traffic aimed his gun at the 22-year-old Henry and ordered him to drop the pistol, the report states.

Henry froze, then moved toward a limo in the street and threw the gun inside the car, the report says. The officer pulled Henry away from the limo and pushed him to the ground, according to the report.

Police said Henry, who still faces a drug charge from an arrest last month in Kentucky, appeared to be preparing to fight with another group on the sidewalk.

Officers found a loaded 9 mm Luger on the back seat of the limo, the report says. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office had listed the gun as stolen, the report states.

Henry was charged with felony counts of possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. He posted $3,000 bail and was released later that night, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the team had no comment Monday night.

Henry was charged with marijuana possession after a traffic stop Dec. 15 in Covington, Ky. That charge is pending.
