Ex-NFL player gets 3 years in cocaine case
By MATTHEW BROWN
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge Wednesday sentenced former NFL player Travis Henry to three years in prison for financing a drug trafficking operation that moved cocaine between Colorado and Montana.
Henry, 30, of Frostproof, Fla., was arrested by federal drug agents last October — just a few months after the running back's release from the Denver Broncos.
He pleaded guilty in April to a single count of trafficking cocaine. In handing down Wednesday's sentence, U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull in Billings also gave Henry five years of probation upon his release and recommended he enter a 500-hour drug treatment program.
