Paramedics transported Henry to Carolinas Medical Center. Police say Henry was involved in a "domestic situation" with his fiancee on Peachtree Road. His fiancee, who police haven't named, got into a pickup truck and drove away from the home. As she was driving, police say, Henry jumped into the bed of the truck. The domestic dispute continued between the woman and Henry. At some point, Henry "came out" of the back of the vehicle.
