Star Wizards Guard Charged With Gun Felony in Locker-Room Incident
Already in hot water with the National Basketball Association over a Dec. 21 incident in which he admittedly brought unloaded guns into the locker room in apparent violation of league rules, star Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is now facing a felony gun possession charge over the situation.
Filed this afternoon by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, the charge seemingly may be a sign that plea negotiations are being finalized, according to the Associated Press and the Washington Post.
Arenas is expected to appear in court tomorrow.
