Travis Henry Sent to Prison for Three Years

Travis Henry, the former NFL running back, has been sent to prison for three years after being convicted of financing a cocaine ring. He was originally arrested in October.

Henry’s cocaine ring helped transport cocaine between the state of Colorado and the state of Montana. In April, he decided to plead guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine. In addition to his three-year federal prison sentence, Henry will need to complete five years of probation. His judge, United States District Judge Richard Cebull, also recommended that Henry should complete 500 hours of treatment for drugs.

Harvey Steinberg, Henry’s attorney, says that if Henry completes the treatment and is rewarded for good behavior, the former running back could be a free man in less than a year and a half.

This isn’t Henry’s first time in the news due to legal troubles. According to reports, Henry has had trouble keeping up to date with his child report payments. Henry allegedly has at least eight children by eight different women.

In Henry’s NFL career, he played with the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos.
