If it's true, he can probably kiss most of the 2007 season good-bye.

What an idiot.

Assault Accusation Against Bengals' Chris Henry

Reported by:
Lynn Giroud
Photographed by: Tyson Thorp

Bengals' wide-receiver Chris Henry is accused of breaking the law again.

9News has learned that Florence police interviewed Henry, along with Bengal Reggie McNeal on Tuesday.

The two football pros may have been involved in assaulting a 16-year-old boy.

The family of the victim shared their story exclusively with 9News Tuesday night.

They talked off-camera because they say they're not ready to publicly show their faces.

But they are angry, alleging that Bengals players Chris Henry, along with a few others, beat the 16-year-old so severely that he had to be treated at the hospital for his injuries.

"It's very obvious," said Captain Linny Cloyd, of the Florence police department. "I've seen the young man. There's no doubt he was assaulted. At this point we're still trying to figure out who is who – where they were."

Police say the 16-year-old and an 18-year-old friend were walking along Wetherington Boulevard near Mt. Zion Road just after 11 p.m. Friday night when, they say a black Navigator or Escalade pulled up next to them.

According to the police report, a white male jumped out and started punching the 16-year-old in the face.

"From that, the victim tells us another gentleman got out of the vehicle the same vehicle and in their attempt to get away, was shoved to the ground by this African American gentleman," said Cloyd.

The teen identified that man as Bengals receiver Chris Henry, and says receiver Reggie McNeill was also in the vehicle.

The teen also alleges that they were throwing beer bottles at him as he tried to run away.

"Go away, we don't want to talk to you."

9News tried to talk to Chris Henry Tuesday night, but no one at his house wanted to talk to us.

Henry lives just a few blocks away from where police say the assault happened.

The victim's family tells 9News that the teen knows Henry and knows his vehicle because he lives in the neighborhood and was friends with Henry's younger brother.

Police questioned Henry Tuesday afternoon and are taking this allegation very seriously.

"We have been in contact with Mr. Henry and Mr. McNeal as to their whereabouts," said Capt. Cloyd. "They deny being in the area, or knowing this gentleman."

Police say they are still following leads and their investigation is on-going.

As for Chris Henry, he's been arrested four times in the past year-and-a-half for marijuana and gun charges, drunk driving and providing alcohol to female minors.

His run-ins with the law got him an eight-game, unpaid suspension this upcoming season.

If these allegation are true, this could spell the end of Chris Henry's career.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said that Henry would be banished for life if there were any more mis-steps.

That sounds kind of odd to me. Not that Henry isn't capable of it, but why would he randomly beat up some kids? Can they prove any of this? If he did do this, then Chris Henry is borderline insane.

Atwater His Ass · 06-13-2007, 11:10 AM

all i have to say is: roflcopter. what a d-bag.

wether he did it or not, the fact that he is associated with it and interviewed by police is almost just as bad, considering his current situation.

Possiby if the kid really does know henry or his younger brother that he may have provided info in one of the other cases and henry is getting even.

I'm sorry but this story doesn't make any sense....

Whatever it is, there is something not being told. If Chris Henry and whoever else really did beat these kids up, they wanted to do so for a reason - not that that justifies any of this, but I'm curious about the motive.

So he gets even by sending "vanilla ice" out of his escalade to go thow a few punches at the kid

TheDave · 06-13-2007, 11:19 AM

All of the crap he pulled while at WVA should prove that point.

Maybe the kid was wearing steelers jersey in the wrong neighborhood?

Orange_Beard · 06-13-2007, 11:28 AM

Is there anyone dumber than Chris Henry?

I will guess Pacman.

bronco610 · 06-13-2007, 11:29 AM

Mine was just a theory, but since the police are taking it seriously, there is something not being said!!!!

Chris just wanted some payback for his suspension, Bengals style.

long beach bronco · 06-13-2007, 12:11 PM

This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Henry and friends just saw these innocent kids walking down the street, pulled over and assaulted them for no reason? Sounds verrrry fishy to me, alot more to this one. Stay tuned

bendog · 06-13-2007, 12:17 PM

I dunno. I see male teenagers walking along the road, and I sometimes have a urge to kill them just for being male teenagers. So, I can see Henry's point of view. Of course, giving into some urges will get you in trouble.

even stranger that the kid actually knew chris henry, obviusly henry didn't recognize him altyhough im sure there was a lot of alcohol involved.

long beach bronco · 06-13-2007, 12:19 PM

Los Broncos · 06-13-2007, 12:23 PM

If he did do it (which i doubt from the story) he is just a hardcore thug who is beyond help.

Kaylore · 06-13-2007, 12:26 PM

I can only see a few possibilities.

1. The kids were up to no good and that night did something bad to Chris Henry or his friend and were running home from the event. The "bad boys" found out and chased them down.

2. The kids got in a fight in some unrelated event. They decided blaming Chris Henry would be a good way to get some easy money as they figured the media and everyone would believe their story and just assume Chris Henry did it because he's Chris Henry.

3. Chris Henry is completely insane and decided to ride down two people he knew and randomly beat them in the middle of the road at 11 at night.

DomCasual · 06-13-2007, 12:37 PM

I think the kids were probably just trying to get their goose on.

bronco militia · 06-13-2007, 01:09 PM

the story is bull****...
http://www.wlwt.com/news/13493413/detail.html

After the the allegations were reported in the media, a source told News 5 that police have found that the teen's claims were unfounded.

However, the men dropped their claims before a scheduled court appearance and no charges were filed.

Well there you go. Sounded fake from the beginning anyway.

bendog · 06-13-2007, 01:17 PM

Too bad, for a short time I thought we might be able to hold Cinny up for a 7pick for the SubwayNinja guy. Marvin Lewis, "you see when I said the cops were profiling my team, it wasn't about race."

Kaylore, the quote you pulled relates to the Odell Thurman case. They kind of threw that one in the end of the article.

As far as the current case with Chris Henry, the police are still keeping the case open. I have a feeling they will be monitoring the bank accounts of the "victim" for the near future.
