Gilbert Arenas Charged with Felony Gun Possession

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has been formally charged with a felony concerning last month’s locker room confrontation with one of his teammates.

 

Arenas was charged Thursday with one count of carrying a pistol without a license.

The gun possession charges were filed in D.C. Superior Court in what looks to be a plea deal for Arenas.

 

Arenas lawyer had no immediate comment concerning the charges.

 

Arenas has said that he kept numerous guns in his locker at the Verizon Center. He claims that he wanted to keep them away from his children and that he did not know it was illegal or against league rules to keep them there.

 

He says he took them out of the locker on Dec. 21 in a “misguided effort to play a joke” on a teammate.

 

Arenas has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA.
