Henry's partner sentenced to 37 months

BILLINGS, Mont. — A Colorado man who trafficked cocaine in partnership with former University of Tennessee running back Travis Henry has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison.

James Mack of Bow Mar, Colo., was arrested along with Henry last October. They were charged with moving up to 11 pounds of cocaine between Colorado and Montana.

The pair pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy charges in April. Two other charges were dropped.

At Friday’s sentencing hearing in Billings, U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull recommended that Mack enroll in a drug treatment program while in prison; and said he must serve five years of probation after his release.

Henry was cut from the Broncos four months before his arrest. He was sentenced on July 15 to 36 months in prison.

sad end to a former Vol..I remember when he played and was interviewed you could tell a few cards were missing from the deck. The big $$ ran through his fingers and he must have been prone to stupid drug moving ideas..To top if off he has 9 kids with no father figure giving them the basis for a doubtful future...Well Done Henry..
