This is both funny and tragic at the same time. Former Bengals' WR Chris Henry was in court during jury selection for his assault trial, his car was being repossessed right outside (you can see a picture of it being towed here).The SUV was hooked to the tow truck, but didn't get towed because the lot's owners ordered the tow truck off the lot. The lot owners said that, since they didn't call the truck, it couldn't take the SUV.
Now, Henry is saying that it is all some sort of misunderstanding ... but this is just plain stupid. If you haven't been paying your car note for a while, why drive that car to the one place where everyone knows you will be.
"Let's see, I need to find Chris Henry's car to repo it. Hmmm. He's due to be in court today. I'll take the tow truck by the courthouse to see if he is dumb enough to drive it there."
In all seriousness, this cannot end well for Henry. He had his house, essentially, repo'd last month after just paying $800 in over two years on it. He doesn't seem to be that smart when it comes to managing money, he has no job, he has a lot of legal fees and it wasn't like he was a highly paid player when he was with the Bengals.

Talking about being in the penthouse to the poor man's house. It isn't funny when an athele loses his house and his vehicle. Chris Henry needs to learn how to handle money.

Just another ignorant athlete that thinks he's above it all. I'll be sure to wave at this dude when I pass by him under the bridge in a few weeks.

Not just a criminal but a deadbeat, too.

Wide receiver Chris Henry is back with the Cincinnati Bengals, four months after the team dumped him following his fifth arrest since 2005. A team spokesman says Henry signed a contract Tuesday, but terms were not released. Henry will not be available
