Cavs Guard Arrested on Weapons Charges
September 21, 2009
Only a month after Plaxico Burress pled guilty to weapons charges and received two years in prison, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West was arrested in the D.C. area for cutting off a Prince George’s police officer at 10 pm while riding on his three wheeled Can-Am Spyder. Pulled over for making an “unsafe lane change,” West immediately notified the officer he had a 9mm Beretta in his waistband prompting the officer to call for backup and initiate a search of the Spyder and West’s person. In addition to the 9mm, officers found a .357 Ruger strapped to the guard’s ankle and a shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back. Cited for the .357 and 9mm, it is unknown why West was carrying the guns or where he was headed with his Spyder and mini arsenal. West is due in court on November 20 and hopefully then the many pending questions will be answered.

You think athletes and celebrities alike would learn from the Burress situation. Plaxico's career is more than likely over. Athletes should take heed and be more careful.

You would think he would learn from Plaxico's case...but these pros seem to follow each other. However, i think if the alleged claims of Delonte suffering from Bipolar are true then it maybe kind of a rough period in his life but it's still no reason to carry around loaded weapons.

This guy needs some serious help. This kind of behavior cant be good for a team. I could not imagine playing with a player like that.
