Either Chris Henry is making a very public cry for help….or he’s really trying to say he’d rather play in the CFL. From the Dayton Daily News.
Chris Henry was cited for speeding and drunken driving early Sunday after Ohio Highway patrolmen pulled him over in suburban Cincinnati.
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 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
I’m a BIG Chris Henry fan. I went to every game this past season and plan on seeing him on the field for the upcoming season. He’s young…made a few mistakes but he’s human. He’ll get it together.
