Sadly, we can't really add this to the tally of Bengals getting arrested; however, a Cincinnati man named Thomas Monahan, claiming Chad Johnson reneged on a promise to give away a Lexus, is suing the popular wide receiver, as well as the comedy club that held the raffle.
At the center of the suit… is a claim that Johnson offered to raffle a Lexus he got as a gift from a Florida dealership. Monahan claims Johnson changed his mind and gave the car to a female friend. Tickets for the show were $17 each, according to the suit, and Monahan purchased $340 worth of tickets hoping to increase his odds on winning…
[Two] additional plaintiffs made an additional claim that they won trips from Johnson they never received. One was for a single person to go to Europe while the second was for the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
"Boo hoo hoo, I didn't get my Lexus so I'm gonna sue." Welcome to life, asshole. Monahan is probably also looking to sue Johnson for another instance during the 2006 season, in which Johnson promised to score two touchdowns for the Bengals but only came through with one.

If this post reaches 50 comments Matt promises a Schwinn to one lucky reader.
Monahan claims Johnson changed his mind and gave the car to some broad he probably knocked up.
Fixed?
He still owes all of us an endzone celebration with a deer
Umm…what loser is going to go to Europe alone?? what a cheap ass, garage sale raffle!
He could still get arrested out of this if he ends up being found in contempt of court. That’s how they get Joe Francis.
*got Joe Francis.
*Other_Dave: Kinda like how they got Cappone for tax evasion?
Yes, precisely. Though sadly my prayers for Joe Francis to die of syphilis in prison will most likely go unanswered.
somehow I get the impression Tom Monahan is the type of guy who goes to a game to participate in the 50/50 raffle
I tried reading the comments on FanHaus and almost had a seizure.
The good news is that Chris Henry kept his promise to try and embarass his team more than Brian Bosworth…
twoeightnine: The commentors on the FanHaus seem to be, by and large, batshit crazy. You should check out the post regarding Brady Quinn’s “girlfriend”. Almost all of the comments are insane.
Oh I know, I’ve had the idea to create a blog highlighting the best comments of the week but am way too lazy.
And while i’m at it, are those teeth or did Goldfinger take a shit in chad’s mouth?
shouldnt the title of this be “chad johnson is an indian giver”?
