CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has been accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face and breaking his car window with a beer bottle, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
Henry, 24, was charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging in the Monday incident in Cincinnati. A warrant for his arrest was issued in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
The player has had a string of problems with police. He most recently was in court last week after being ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates. He paid $149, according to the Hamilton County Municipal Court records.

Henry, who was arrested four times during a 14-month span, was suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the first half of last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policy.
A message seeking comment was left late Wednesday for Henry's attorney, Robert Lotz.
Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the team is aware of the charges but declined comment.
The player's agent, Marvin Frazier, said Henry gave him a different version of events but declined to elaborate.

"I was told it didn't happen that way," Frazier said.
According to an affidavit filed in Hamilton County, Henry was identified by Gregory Meyer, whose hometown was not listed, and an eyewitness. The eyewitness claimed Henry punched Meyer, causing "visible injury." Henry then threw a beer bottle at Meyer's car, breaking the rear passenger window, according to the affidavit.

After his most recent arrest, Henry pleaded guilty to letting minors drink alcohol in a hotel room he had rented. He served two days in jail.
The Bengals issued a statement expressing frustration with Henry when he was in traffic court a year ago for driving with a suspended license.
Following his NFL suspension, Henry caught 21 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns.

Delta ups fees for extra bags
Posted March 3, 2008 at 2:51 pm ET by Christine Sarkis, SmarterTravel.com Staff
Bad news for overpackers, family travelers, and anyone else flying with more than two bags or particularly tall or heavy items on Delta: It's gonna cost you. The airline has increased its excess baggage fees from $75 to $80 for three to five extra pieces of domestic luggage, and from $50 to $80 for bags between 51 and 70 pounds. Did I mention these charges are each way?

Bad news for overpackers, family travelers, and anyone else flying with more than two bags or particularly tall or heavy items on Delta: It's gonna cost you.

Did I mention these charges are each way?
If you have an extra piece of luggage that is both taller and heavier than the limit, well, you may as well just buy your bag an extra seat on the plane. Delta charges $80 for each limitation a bag exceeds, so you could potentially end up paying $240 for that extra bag.
However, if you're a SkyMiles Platinum, Gold, or Silver Member or a first- or business-class passenger, you'll still be able to check an extra bag at no cost. This looks a lot like what Tim Winship recently called the reverse Robin Hood strategy, since it's this kind of policy that taxes occasional leisure travelers and spares the generally affluent elite members.
Delta's policy change comes on the heels of United's announcement that it would start charging passengers for a second checked bag and a few weeks after Spirit doubled its fees for checked bags. This trend seems like just the recipe to further slow the already-torpid boarding process as more passengers try to carry on bags that really should be checked.
