Henderson also was cited for failing to wear a seat belt and given a city ordinance violation for playing his car stereo too loud.

He was further given a verbal warning for tinted windows that appeared to be darker than the legal limit.

The 6-foot-7, 300-pound NFL player was drafted in 2007 after playing at Florida State University.
