Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry faces an April 6 court date in Orange County (Fla.) Circuit Court on a single charge of illegal possession of a concealed firearm, according to court records. No motions were filed by the prosecutor on charges of improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. A plea of not guilty to the possession charge was entered on Henry's behalf.

Henry also has a March 22 court date in Kentucky's Kenton District Court on a marijuana possession charge.

Here's an update...

Bengals | Police and courts: C. Henry

Wed, 22 Mar 2006 06:17:17 -0800

Paul A. Long, of the Cincinnati Post, reports Kenton County prosecutors are working out a deal with Cincinnati Bengals WR Chris Henry that will keep him out of jail in Kentucky. Henry, who was arrested on charges of speeding and possession of marijuana in Covington on Dec. 15, would have to undergo treatment or therapy under any plea bargain. Henry is due in court Wednesday, March 22, but the case is expected to be continued. Under NFL rules, the arrest put Henry into a treatment plan of up to 90 days.

WHODEY !!!

I just heard on the Homer that Henry pleaded guilty

to the pot charges and was fined $250.

[oldschooler]

He was also forced to take 28 days of rehab... which he has already completed.

They just had a sound bite from Henry... and he said "I need to grow up... and

that`s what I plan on doing. I want to tell all the Bengals fans I`m sorry."

Isn't pleading guilty to a drug charge an automatic 4 game suspension by the NFL?

[kingwilly]

I think you are right....4-games on the pine for this infraction.

Now, how the pistol brandishing incident plays out will tell us if he;s gone for the year or not.

No it isn`t automatic. He is "subject" to a suspension of up

to 4 games. But it depends on his evaluation and what

the NFL front office thinks.

He is automatically submitted to the NFL substance abuse program though...

Update from WLWT.com:

Bengals' Henry Pleads Guilty, Apologizes To Fans

Receiver Sentenced To Time Served, $250 Fine

KENTON COUNTY, Ky. -- A Cincinnati Bengals receiver has pleaded guilty to drug charges in Kenton County.

Chris Henry was stopped for speeding in December by Covington police, who said they found two small bags of marijuana in one of his shoes.

Wednesday, Henry, 22, apologized to fans and said it's time for him to grow up.

Henry was sentenced to 28 days in a drug treatment program, which he has completed, and $250 in fines and court costs. The speeding charge was dropped.

Henry said he had learned from his time in the drug treatment program.

The receiver still faces charges of possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm, stemming from a January arrest in Orlando, Fla.
