TRAVIS HENRY CHARGED WITH COCAINE TRAFFICKING

Former NFL running back Travis Henry has been arrested and charged with trafficking multiple kilograms of cocaine. Henry and another man were arrested yesterday, the Rocky Mountain Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration said in a statement. Both men are being held pending the filing of federal drug charges later today. Henry ran afoul of NFL drug policies multiple times during his career. In 2007 he successfully challenged a failed drug test for marijuana. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan went to bat for Henry at the time, saying he had passed a lie-detector test. The Broncos cut Henry in June, and in July it was reported that he had violated the league’s substance-abuse policy before the Broncos cut him. Henry played four seasons with the Bills, two with the Titans and one with the Broncos. He had 1,488 carries for 6,086 yards in his seven-year career.
