Wizards' Arenas Investigated for Packing Guns in Locker

Comments (15)

On December 9, Gilbert Arenas welcomed his third child into the world. Apparently after his daughter was born, Arenas had a bit of an epiphany – he didn't want guns in his house anymore. So he brought them to work. But as you may know, that's a no-no in the NBA.

"The Washington Wizards have learned that Gilbert Arenas stored firearms in a locked container in his locker, unloaded and without ammunition," the Washington Wizards' said in a statement. "The Wizards organization and Arenas promptly notified the local authorities and the NBA and are cooperating fully with law enforcement during its review of this matter and will have no further comment at this time."

There's no word on the type of guns, or how many Arenas brought to the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., but they were secure and in a locked box. He brought the guns to the arena because he didn't know what to do with them, but a week later he turned them in to team security who he asked to give to the D.C. police. Arenas is not facing any criminal charges or any punishment from the team or league at the moment.

"I wouldn't have brought them to D.C. had I known the rules," Arenas told the Washington Times. "After my daughter was born, I was just like, I don't need these anymore. I don't want them around the kids. We are working with the league and the authorities."
