Henry to do jail time

**Steelersfan** · 01-26-2007, 02:41 AM

CINCINNATI -- Chris Henry got a judge's lecture and a two-day jail sentence after settling the last of his four court cases Thursday, putting the Cincinnati Bengals receiver in line for another suspension from the NFL.
Henry drew a two-game suspension this season for violating the league's conduct and substance abuse policies, and could get a harsher punishment for his latest convictions.
"We are reviewing this and will take appropriate disciplinary action in due course," spokesman Steve Alic said.
Henry has become the symbol of Cincinnati's extensive off-field problems -- nine players arrested in the last nine months, two of them suspended by the league during the season. Henry had four arrests in the last 14 months.
He avoided jail time in the first three cases, but was taken to the Kenton County Jail in northern Kentucky on Thursday after a judge accepted his guilty plea for letting minors drink in a hotel room he rented last spring.
"You embarrassed yourself," Kenton County District Judge Greg Grothaus told Henry. "You embarrassed a lot of people, teammates, friends and family, the city, the fans and myself."
Grothaus gave Henry a 90-day sentence, and suspended all but two days. Prosecutor Ken Easterling wanted Henry to spend some time in jail.
"Looking at his history and the amount of times he's gone before other courts and not gotten jail time, the reason we sought jail time was to send a very clear message to him that this is going to be the response every time you get in trouble in our community," Easterling said. "So I hope, as the judge indicated, that he gets the message."

Marvin does give a damn, but the Bengals scouting organization is the most underfunded in the NFL. He hasn't been there that long and from what I've heard has been fighting to put more emphasis on that part of the organization for a while.

If he gave a damn Henry would've been gone a looooong time ago and so would the rest of the jailbirds. If his scouting team is so underfunded then how did they know about their character issues before they got drafted? Lewis still drafted them knowing they got problems, hes playing a lottery he can't win.

My guess is that he was trying to just stick it out and try to make due but then it kept going downhill.......he's got two years at absolute best to wipe this whole problem clean before I think he gets fired. It's not entirely his fault up until this point but the longer it goes on it will make the bengals into at best a Detroit Lions team with a 4,000 yard passer, a 1,000 yard receiver yet no playoff hopes.

what pisses me off about this is I got 10 days in county jail for getting 2 underages in a months time span before I turned 21 and this jack hole is trying to liquor up some 16 year old girls and he gets 2 days.

You have a point there BuFu. But we probally get arrested hanging with Chris Henry since he is so stupid to keep getting caught. I have been to jail and I don't want to go back.
