Prosecutors said Henry was in Merriam, Kansas, in 2018 when police found drugs and an alleged sex worker in his hotel. At the time, Henry was facing a second-degree murder charge for the death of Caleb Schwab, 10, on a Schlitterbahn water slide in Kansas City, Kansas. The charges in that case were later dismissed.
