Denver Bronco sentenced on drug charges
July 16, 2009
Montana: Federal judge Richard Cebull presided in the drug case of former Denver Bronco running back Travis Henry. Henry and co-defendant James Mack of Bow Mar, CO were arrested in October of 2008 after authorities in Montana found six pounds of marijuana and about 6.6 pounds of cocaine that the pair allegedly had supplied.[1]
The United States Attorney for the District of Montana said in its complaint that Henry trafficked cocaine between Colorado and Montana,and one of his associates had delivered six pounds of cocaine to Billings, MT on previous occasions.[1]
On April 15, 2009, Henry agreed with the Montana U.S. Attorney's Office to a plea agreement. The plea deal allowed the former NFL player to plead guilty to a single cocaine conspiracy charge in exchange for two other charges being dropped.[1]
On July 16, 2009, Judge Cebull sentenced Travis Henry to three years in federal prison. Cebull also ordered him to undergo drug rehabilitation and ordered five years probation. If Henry completes his rehabilitation successfully, Judge Cebull will reduce his sentence by one year.[2]
