The Chris Henry Story
Since his college days at West Virginia University, Henry has been a problematic receiver. During his junior season with
the Mountaineers, he was ejected from a game at Rutgers due to multiple unsportmanlike conduct penalties and was
suspended for the season finale at Pittsburgh.

was also driving without a valid driver's license, and without auto insurance. On January 30, 2006, he was arrested in
Orlando for multiple gun charges including concealment and aggravated assault with a firearm. He was reported to have
been wearing his Number 15 Bengals jersey at the time of his arrest. Henry pleaded guilty to in both cases and avoided
jail time in both cases.
Cincinnati media reported on May 4, 2006, that Henry is being investigated by Covington police in connection with a sex
crime, which allegedly occurred in a hotel room in Covington, Kentucky early on April 30, 2006. No charges have yet
been filed, and on May 24, 2006, Covington police reported that there is no proof anything happened and that the
alleged victim might now face charges for filing a false police report.
