As reported earlier this month, Bengals WR Chris Henry was charged with speeding and drunken driving, which was his third conviction since December of 2005. Sorry Marvin Lewis, but your No. 3 wide out has been at it again.
Henry turned himself in this time, after spending some quality time with three female minors.
The arrest warrant issued on Wednesday morning claims that Henry provided alcohol to three women all under the age of 21. One of the women is identified as Monica Beamon, 18, and the others are cited as unnamed 15- and 16-year-olds. The criminal affidavit charges that all three women were in Henry’s car when he provided them alcohol, with the knowledge that all were under the legal drinking age of 21.
Henry could spend up to a year in jail and receive a $500 fine if convicted, but there is no telling what the NFL or Cincinnati Bengals organization have in store for him.
Before this incident and his drunken speed race arrest just earlier this month, Henry was charged in January with pulling a pistol on a group of people in downtown Orlando. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of carrying a concealed weapon and is set for trial Aug. 21.
He also avoided jail time on marijuana charges from a December arrest in Kentucky after pleading guilty and agreeing to enter a drug rehabilitation program.
This guy is an absolute mess to say the least. I can see why NFL teams collectively hold their breaths every offseason, because of these guys having too much time on their hands.
Henry and Big Ben are just the latest examples of what NFL teams have to put up with every single year around this time.
