In his latest brush with the law, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was cited earlier this month for driving a vehicle with an expired license plate, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Cincinnati police pulled his red, 2007 Land Rover over March 16 in the 2100 block of Vine Street in University Heights, and Henry paid a $149 fine on March 26. This is minor stuff in the grand scheme of things, but this incident seems to point to Henry being unable to take care of mundane tasks in his everyday life. At this point, you would think Henry would be doing everything possible to keep his name out of the news.
