In Addition to Trafficking Cocaine, Travis Henry Allegedly Threatened to Kill Customer

Text Size A A A

Travis Henry couldn't find work via conventional means -- NFL running back and porn star were probably his two best options -- so he turned to the streets. And four months after the Broncos released him, the Feds arrested him for allegedly trafficking cocaine.

But it gets worse (via the Denver Post):

Henry told one Billings, Mont., customer that he and his family were all "dead" if they didn't come up with $40,000 worth of cocaine lost when their home was robbed, according to the affidavit. To make up for the stolen cocaine, Henry and [James] Mack gave another customer 2 kilograms of fake cocaine, or drywall, along with 1 kilogram of real cocaine, the document says.

Turns out, the Billings, Mont., customer was an informant; he turned on Henry to avoid the whole "dead" thing. The account reads like a formulaic movie script, complete with Henry trying to outrun federal agents after he collected six bricks of coke from the informant. He was cuffed and stuffed a few houses away, which, along with his "I don't give a crap" Maurice Clarett approach to preparing for the NFL, pretty much guarantees the next time he plays football it'll either be via Madden or in the yard.

While it's easy to clown a guy for getting run down by law enforcement officials, Henry was carrying 13 pounds of cocaine. Hardly defensible, but it's something; Kenny Wright is just slow.

That just seems like poor customer service to me.

Hey, where is the sports coverage of the Denver Broncos' league leading 4-1 football team on AOL this year? I haven't seen a single decent article by the mediocre sports writers who blog here on AOL Sports about the Broncos' performance on the football field this fall. All we get are idiotic articles about Ed Hochuli--written by people who don't even know who Brandon Marshall is-- or garbage about ex-Bronco's like Travis Henry. Are you AOL sports writers all ballet dancers from New York and San Francisco, or what? I'm about to fire AOL if this crap continues...
