The Dayton Daily News reports calling WR Chris Henry "the cancer" that triggered the Bengals' season of legal trouble, a Kentucky judge ordered the wide receiver locked up for 48 hours on Thursday. Kenton County District Judge Douglas Grothaus sentenced Henry to 90 days in jail, then suspended all but two days. He ordered Henry to begin serving jail time immediately for allowing minors to drink alcohol in a Covington, Ky., hotel room last April. Henry pleaded guilty to permitting possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages, a class B misdemeanor. He was warned that if he breaks the law again, he'll have to serve the remaining 88 days behind bars. "You brought most of this on yourself, if not all of it," Judge Grothaus said.

The earliest Henry can be released from the Kenton County Jail is 9:15 a.m. Saturday. Read more
