Report: Wizards' Arenas charged with Felony Gun Possession

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has been charged with felony gun possession, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

Arenas, who was suspended indefinitely without pay by NBA commissioner David Stern last week, was charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business, according to the paper.

The charge was announced by the U.S. Attorney's office for the district.

Arenas, a three-time All-Star, had admitted to taking unloaded guns out of his locker in a "misguided effort to play a joke" on a teammate following a gambling dispute during a team flight.

The teammate involved in the spat, Javaris Crittenton, had authorities search his apartment for a semiautomatic handgun in connection with the incident on Thursday afternoon.

The jail time could be a Max of 5 years but I doubt he sees any jail time.

Wizards should def void his contract now

Gilbert Arenas has been charged with a felony gun possession that carries a maximum five-year sentence, but has reached a plea agreement that could result in much less or even no jail time, several sources close to the case said.

Arenas is scheduled to plead guilty Friday afternoon before D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin, who must decide Arenas's sentence.

He has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA, and it is unclear whether a felony conviction would give the Wizards the right to void the remaining four years of his six-year, $111 million contract.

Arenas and his attorney, Kenneth L. Wainstein, declined to comment, as did officials in the U.S. Attorney's Office.
