FLORENCE, Ky. (AP) - The mortgage company that lent former
Cincinnati wide receiver Chris Henry money to buy a house in
Florence, Ky., has bought the home at a public auction.
The house was auctioned after Henry failed to make mortgage
payments. It was valued at $360,000.
Chase Home Finance LLC offered the sole bid of $240,000 on the
home in northern Kentucky.
Henry bought the house when he made his NFL debut with the
Bengals in September 2005.
The league has suspended Henry twice for gun and alcohol-related
problems.
Last month, he was accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the
head and throwing a beer can through his car window.
A judge modified a house arrest order to let Henry travel to
other cities as he tries to revive his career after the Bengals
released him April 3.
