A week after being an in court for driving with expired Kentucky license plates, Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry will soon be in court again. This time the charge is assault.
According to the court documents that were filed on Wednesday (April 2), Henry is being accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face and for breaking the man’s car window with a beer bottle.
The victim, Gregory Meyer, and an eyewitness have identified Henry and are claiming that the punch caused “visible injury” to Meyer. They are also claiming that Henry threw a beer bottle at Meyer’s car, which broke the rear passenger window.
Associated Press’ story of events fail to include the area of Cincinnati where supposedly the event took place.
According to local television stations, the event took place outside an apartment building on Ohio Avenue in Clifton Heights.
Henry resides in Florence, Ky., which is a good 25-to-30 minute drive from Clifton Heights.
Clifton Heights, is not an area Henry should be in, especially when you consider his and everybody’s else claim that the wide receiver is keeping his act together.
Last night, 700 WLW reported that Henry said that it was a case of mistaken identity.
The AP is reporting that his agent, Marvin Frazier, was told by Henry, that a different version of the events took place.
“I was told it didn’t happen that way,” Frazier said, according to the AP.
Henry was arrested four times in a 14-month span, which caused NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend for the first eight games of last season.

Chris Henry is a sad case! Here is a kid who could have had a stellar career, saved some money and helped his family. Instead, he has thrown it away ala Britney Spears. He needs professional help! Even sadder is the lack of control that Marvin has on his players…he should have been helping this kid. No wonder the team can’t come together and win!!! We not only need players, but most importantly we need a coach who can coach and provide leadership. How sad are the Bengals?
If this story sticks, there is no way the Bengals can justify keeping Henry
Welcome Joe! Your comments will stick from now on and will not have to be moderated.

this is a sad day. I liked his on the field production. I hope the draft works out well for the Bengals. They need it and I need it.
Bengals waived Henry - problem solved. We need a tall deep threat in the 2nd round now.
BG is right the Bengals waived Henry here is the link -

This def. changes the Bengals draft plans, which I will do a post on (WRS) soon.
Losing Chris Henry really hurts the team, but it is the right thing to do. I’m afraid there may be a little more painful housecleaning left to do in the wide receiver department.
Wow!! What a disappointing waste of talent Henry turned out to be. It’s kind of disgusting to think that all he had to do was keep his mouth shut and his hands to himself to receive millions of dollars. Ridiculous. Though, with his size and athleticism I’m sure that he’s got a promising career in… well… in tree trimming or perhaps his true passion… the making of license plates. What a guy. High five Chris!!
is there any way we could move on to a good happy story about the bengals?
Signed a receiever today…
