Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West arrested on weapons charges

[Black Joker]

CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers guard Delonte West was arrested Thursday night near his offseason home in Maryland for weapons possession.

According to the police report, West was charged with at least two counts of handgun on person, and for driving the vehicle in excess of reasonable and prudent speed. He was pulled over on his motorcycle in Upper Marlboro, Md. on I-495.

WUSA, a television station in Washington D.C., reported that West was pulled over at 10 p.m. Thursday for making an unsafe lane change on his motorcycle. The station reported that police said West had two handguns and a shotgun in his possession and was arrested.

West was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 20.

West's agent did not immediately return a message from The Plain Dealer. The Cavs had no comment as they gathered information about the incident.

The team is scheduled to begin training camp a week from Monday.

Sorry if this has already been posted...
But damn, what the hell is he doing with two handguns and a shotgun:wtf:

[InspiredLebowski]

1) If I'm a player, I'm probably carrying a (legal) weapon fairly often

2) 2 pistols and a shotgun?! He's a spacey dude, maybe he was pretending to be Hiro Protagonist.

3) What exactly do "weapons charges" entail in Maryland? Were they concealed? Unregistered? Was it because of the shotgun?

Damn. I kind of liked Delonte. One of my favorite Cavs players. I wish he wouldn't do stupid **** like this that makes it harder to like him.

[MegaTron]

Doesn't he have depression?

[Darius]

LOL

How do you carry 2 handgun AND a shotgun on a motorcycle??

[ihatetimthomas]

He was on a motorcycle. Seems really weird to be carrying a shotgun and 2 handguns on a bike.:confusedshrug:

[Hammertime]

LOL

You gotta be gangsta to pull that off. Probably one on each hip, and then a shotgun slung across his back.

Or like this.

No reason ever to carry a gun unless your a law officer.

No reason ever to carry a gun unless your a law officer.

Unless you're a highly recognizable person who's multi-million dollar salary is widely reported in the media that works in an industry that's seen many of your peers specifically targeted for this reason.

[Mikaiel]

An NBA star and former area high school player was pulled over and arrested in Prince George's County on Thursday night after a police officer found he was carrying three loaded guns, authorities said.

Delonte West, a guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was driving a three-wheeled motorcycle north on Interstate 95 near Route 214 in the Largo area when he cut off a Prince George's County police officer, authorities said. The officer pulled him over, and West told the officer that he was carrying a handgun in his waistband.

That prompted the officer to call for backup, and investigators found that West was actually carrying three guns: a Beretta 9mm in his waistband, a Ruger .357 strapped to his leg and a shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back, said Maj. Andy Ellis, a spokesman for the Prince George's County Police Department.

West, who is 26 and lives in Brandywine, was arrested and charged with speeding and two counts of carrying a handgun, Ellis said. He was released today on personal recognizance, according to Ellis and online court records.

Ellis said it was unclear where West was going and why he was armed.

Hands down, man's down.

[Hammertime]

Unless you're a highly recognizable person who's multi-million dollar salary is widely reported in the media that works in an industry that's seen many of your peers specifically targeted for this reason.

Yeah, because I'm going to go rob an NBA player unarmed. Or, even better, because an NBA player will get his own gun out so quickly so as to shoot me before I can even point mine. Well, Eddie House might.

[Mikaiel]

And all guns were loaded.

This is bad http://www.soonet.ca/images/smilies/Smile/suicide.gif

Unless you're a highly recognizable person who's multi-million dollar salary is widely reported in the media that works in an industry that's seen many of your peers specifically targeted for this reason.

Completely disagree. Hire a security guard or multiple ones. Or avoid areas where you need a gun. I've never once heard a story of a celebrity save their own life with a gun.

Two things can happen if someone you are successful when a gun is pulled. They get killed or someone else does. Either way at least one life is ruined.

See what I mean?

[cavsfanatic]

Man why people be acting like when somebody be strapped they a bad person? Dc is a terrible place to live so I don't blame him. He should have had em registered tho. It wasn't a normal motorcyle either it was on a spyder. He had a shotgun in a guitar case desperado style.

[niko]

a person suffering (suffered before) from depression carrying around a few weapons is very badnews. If this was NY he'd be looking at 3 1/2 years easy. WTF is going on with him.

[G.O.A.T]

Not bad, stupid.

you don't need to drive around DC with a shotgun and two other guns. its not beirut. And unless he was delivering medicine to his dying kids, if somewhere is THAT dangerous you should not be there. WTF are you smoking? Don't be such a homer, you can be a big D-West fan and still reazlie this was asinine.

[bagelred]

Delonterminator.



Westinator.

"I'll be back!!.....behind the 3 point line."

Guess he has to go to jail for at least 2 years like Plaxico Burress.

Bye Delonte. Nice knowing you. :pimp: Thanks for ruining Lebron's championship aspirations and now Lebron will bolt to the Knicks. It's all coming together.:cheers:

[StroShow4]

:oldlol:


I'm curious to know where the f@ck he was going.

Will Cavaliers be able to use the JBE?

That's the JailBird Exception.....

Deshawn Stevenson's house maybe.

[Lebron23]

If the NBA will suspend him?

More playing time for Anthony Parker, Rookie Danny Green, and Daniel Gibson.

I hope this is not an illegal possession of firearms.

If they lose West they're in trouble, that's a big hit, he really came on last year, he was their second best player vs. Orlando.

[bagelred]

A great law practice to start is a specialty in just defending professional athletes. What a great niche. Solid business all year round.

[Hammertime]

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

So, Delonte was driving a go-cart, basically?

Oh, and who would believe that an NBA player could play the guitar?

[Lebron23]

Anthony Parker will be our starting SG.

I had watched some of the games of Danny Green in College, and the kid is going to be a great role player in the NBA. He's also a good 3 points shooter.

Daniel Gibson will likely play more minutes If the league suspended Delonte West for the season opener.

[bagelred]

The five-year veteran was later released on his own recognizance and told to appear in court on Nov. 20.



At least he'll be able to start the season, unless he's suspended.

Of course he'll be suspended. Sebastian Telfair was suspended and he just had a single gun. Delonte was a one-man army.

[The Poet]

As a celebrity or sports star, is it really all that necessary to carry a firearm? What is the point? I understand it is a fundamental American right this country was built on, but with all the entourage and money, I find it so imprudent that so many of our celebrities and sports stars are being arrested on gun charges.

[Mikaiel]

I will just wait and see what was going on. But go ahead, call him stupid,etc.

He cut off a police officer when he had a 9mm, a .357 and a shotgun. And all of these were loaded. How is that not stupid ? :confusedshrug:

Hahhahahahaha, that was placed perfectly... props for a Cav fan doing it too. I LOLed.

[itsGameTime]

I find this sort of ironic since all of the Cavs fans were claiming Delonte was going to shut down Vince Carter, but considering that he's going to get some jailtime, who's going to guard Vince Carter now? Does this not put the Magic over the Cavs in a 7 game series?

[1~Gibson~1]

i can understand the two handguns, but a shotgun on a motorcycle? :oldlol:

come on Delonte, you're better than that. if two hands were enough to murder Vincanity two handhelds and a shotty is more than enough to do the same to Gilbo (Washington DC) :confusedshrug:

[Lebron23]

I find this funny since all of the Cavs fans were claiming Delonte was going to shut down Vince Carter, but considering that he's going to get some jailtime, who's going to guard Vince Carter now? Does this make the Magic team > the Cavs?

What's your original account @$$hole?

Rasteroids Lewis is also suspended for 10 games.

[MegaTron]

Rasteroids? Wow, you are a terrible poster.

I wouldn't be surprised if Delonte killed himself. He does have depression.

[Mikaiel]

Does anyone know how strict Maryland is when it comes to guns ?

[AmoebaD]

if he is living in pg county, choosing to the live there... he better have some guns at his disposal. one, registered gun.

but as everyone is saying, this is just a ridiculous situation. he had probably just got done watching desperado and wanted to be a bad ass like banderas. the guitar case shotgun, that is some next level gun toting.

i can picture him on 95, howling at the moon lighting up the skyline. what an idiot.

Rasteroids? Wow, you are a terrible poster.

Well,

Rashard is a proven steroids user.

You are a terrible human being.

Rashard gets 10 games, but Delonte will get at least 1-2 years like Plaxico Burress or TI.

But seriously this sucks, He was gonna have a big year, is it possible for him to not get jail time? His guns didn't go off like Plaxico's did.

[1~Gibson~1]

Rasteroids? Wow, you are a terrible poster.

I wouldn't be surprised if Delonte killed himself. He does have depression.
he's not in depression anymore

[824]

Hopefully he can figure his life out, it's fairly obvious that he has some issues he needs to deal with beyond "stupidity". You guys don't know why he was doing what he was doing, it would definitely appear much deeper than a low IQ. If he is depressed than this is a bad situation and I hope he gets the help he needs.

[AmoebaD]

i love delonte west as a player. however, i hate the cavs. hopefully david stern suspends him the entire season. he can screw his head on straight and demand a trade to the wizards so he can stay close to home and work on finding his "center".

maybe the cavs should swing delonte and hickson for stevenson and blatche. everyone wins. stevenson and lebron can put the past behind them and win a title.

[AmoebaD]

he's not in depression anymore

lol :roll: :roll: :roll:

that is the most stupid comment ever. haha. like depression is a location or some shti. it just doesn't disappear. :hammerhead: :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

maybe he should double up on the prozac, add some abilify, chase it with some omega 3 fatty acid and snort some zoloft. :confusedshrug:

Stephen Jackson fired his gun outside the Indianapolis strip club, and the league suspended him for 30 games.

[QUOTE]On October 6, 2006, there were police reports that Jackson and three other Pacers players were involved in an argument with several patrons at Club Rio, a strip club in Indianapolis. Jackson was punched by one of the patrons and was hit by a car, rolling onto the hood. His injuries were considered minor. Jackson says he fired several gunshots from a 9-mm pistol as an act of self-defense. However, prosecutors later said he fired first.[8] Jackson was charged October 11, 2006 with a felony count of criminal recklessness. He served a seven game suspension at the beginning of the 2007

This would have been a 82 game suspension if it was a Nuggets player (Melo getting 15 games for the NY punch while everyone else gets 1 game if they punch someone), but Delonte is gonna get 7 or something.

[AmoebaD]

delonte west needs to be in washington. he needs to be near his family in the home he grew up in. he needs to be close to his high school friends and cohorts. he needs a safe place.

maybe they can outpatient him at johns hopkins, he can get some electro shock therapy and be at the verizon center by noon for team practice followed by individual workouts during the season. georgetown is like 5 minutes from the verizon center, they have some of the best neurological and mental health specialists in the country.

face it cavs fans, he is damaged goods. you might as well wash your hands of him and go all in with boobie. cut your losses. might as well send delonte to washington where he can be nurtured and cared for. maybe one day he will be able to recuperate and be a viable member of society.

we welcome west with open arms in washington. west for a second round pick sounds about right. it is the best scenario for all parties involved.

[itsGameTime]

Got this off a lawfirm website in Maryland:

"Gun charges are taken extremely seriously since Maryland firearms laws are very strict. Carrying a handgun is a crime that will get you mandatory jail time if you are found guilty.

Carrying a handgun in Maryland without a permit to carry is punishable by a minimum of 30 days in jail, and up to 3 years. (See my MD Handgun possession penalties chart below.) Even if you have a permit in another state, it is not considered valid in Maryland. "

Handgun Charge
Penalty

Handgun—Unlawful wearing, carrying, 1st weapon offense
Maximum—3 years; Minimum—30 days

Handgun—Unlawful wearing, carrying, 2nd weapon offense
Maximum—10 years; Minimum—1 year

Handgun—Unlawful wearing, carrying, more than 2 weapon offenses
Maximum—10 years; Minimum—3 years

Source: http://www.maryland-defense-lawyer.com/MdGunLaws.htm

Delonte possessed 2 hand guns and 1 shotgun.

If he's lucky, they count it as a single offense and he would fall in the first category.

Considering each handgun counts as a separate weapon count, independently of one another, he's going to fall in the second category for the 2 handguns and not counting the shot gun.

If they do count the shotgun, he falls in the third category.

[kurple]

Melo got 15 games for sucker punching a Knick and running away. He should have gotten more.

keep telling yourself that.

Kobe should have been suspended for elbowing artest and elbowing&kneeing battier when he was lying on the ground...

He has been charged with two counts of gun possession and several traffic citations, although those charges could be amended, Copeland said. According to Maryland criminal law, having an unlicensed handgun can carry a fine of $2,500 and/or up to three years in prison.

"We are aware of the situation and take this matter very seriously," Cavs general manager Danny Ferry said in a statement. "We have been in communication with Delonte and his family. We are gathering more information and will not have further comment until the appropriate time."

West's agents did not immediately return a message to The Plain Dealer.

West has said he suffers from bipolar disorder and has been open with his battle with mood swings and depression. Last season he left the Cavs for several weeks during training camp to get treatment for depression and was on medication at the time.

Copeland said West cooperated with police and did not require or receive any medical attention. He has been released on his own recognizance and has a court date set for Nov. 26.

It was not yet clear if West would be cleared to travel to Cleveland when the Cavs open training camp on Sept. 28

[Da KO King]

As someone who lives in the area I feel it is only fair that I point out the area that West was reported arrested in has an extremely popular gun range not too far away. It is entirely possible that West was coming from Maryland Small Arms, hopped on 95, and got hemmed up.

West for Dominic McGuire.

you know, maybe. if west will be serving some time, i would like to see how dominic improves over that time, but i think that is not that bad of a trade.

Well I'll just let your words speak for themselves.

It has nothing to do with his right to, it's about common sense. Having the right to bear arms is an important right, but it doesn't mean you should carry your weapon with you. There is no reason to (recreation\hunting aside). A gun is good home defense, not self-defense.

Having a gun on you is much more likely to end someones life then save your own.

It's too bad common sense and a little tact aren't guaranteed to you int he constitution.

Haha that made me laugh, but you're still retarded if you think it was worth it or necessary for delonte to carry 3 guns unlawfully.

[pete's montreux]

Haha that made me laugh, but you're still retarded if you think it was worth it or necessary for delonte to carry 3 guns unlawfully.

I said he should get whatever he deserves if he was carrying illegally. :confusedshrug:

If not, he's within his rights.

[niko]

:roll: So inappropriate, yet so hilarious.

But seriously this sucks, He was gonna have a big year, is it possible for him to not get jail time? His guns didn't go off like Plaxico's did.
Plax didn't get more jailtime because the gun went off, he got caught because the gun went off.

[niko]

I'd honestly be more worried about his mindset than legal problems at this point. He's a man who suffers from depression, who felt the need to drive around with three unlicensed handguns, one a shotgun. That's not normal. Although this board felt that Beasley sending out messages like a suicidal 15 year old to all his twitter friends was perfectly normal, so what do i know.

[Da KO King]

why? whats the point?
My point was that if he was simply coming from the range then:

a) he may get a reduced charge
b) coming from the range packing does not make him stupid or a bad guy

[Mikaiel]

My point was that if he was simply coming from the range then:

All his guns were loaded ...

[niko]

My point was that if he was simply coming from the range then:

not if they were illegal. Taking loaded weapons that are illegally owned to or from a gun range means you own and are transporting illegal weapons. its different if he had a home permit and you are claiming ignorance that he didnt know he couldnt transport them, but its not the case.

[LA_Showtime]

This is obviously LeBron's fault.

[KenneBell]

If LeBron was the team leader everyone says he is, he would've transported those guns himself instead of delegating it to Delonte. SMH j/k :roll:

I find this sort of ironic since all of the Cavs fans were claiming Delonte was going to shut down Vince Carter, but considering that he's going to get some jailtime, who's going to guard Vince Carter now? Does this not put the Magic over the Cavs in a 7 game series?

Maybe Delonte can hire Wince Carters mom to "watch his back" while in the hood.

[TruthKGRay3412]

One of my favorite former Celtics..I hope he gets no jail time and a minimum suspension from Stern..I want the Cavs to be at full strength come playoff time.

I'm sorry but this is the most badass thing I've ever heard of.

A THREE-WHEELED motorcycle, a gun in the WAISTBAND, a gun strapped to his LEG, and a SHOTGUN IN A GUITAR CASE??

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Not going to lie..but I laughed pretty hard..Delonte was on a mission!

Delonte West need to hire a good lawyer.

All of the Cavaliers fans from RealCavs Forum and Cavfanatics are sad and frustrated at the same time because West might go to jail.

[ihatetimthomas]

^^sorry man, someone beat you to it a few pages up, better too.


Basketball aside, I really am concerned to know what his mental state in. You dont go strapped with a shot gun and 2 handguns on a tricycle bike on a normal state of mind. Depression is in his past, and its easy to relapse. Thats the thing about depression. It can be triggered any time. And if what one of the posters said about jail time for 3 guns, then it doenst look good. Best of luck to Delonte

Man why people be acting like when somebody be strapped they a bad person? Dc is a terrible place to live so I don't blame him. He should have had em registered tho. It wasn't a normal motorcyle either it was on a spyder. He had a shotgun in a guitar case desperado style.

what the hell would you know about DC being a terrible place to live? I live 15 minutes from where he was pulled and it isn't anything close to a hood that requires 3 weapons.

[1~Gibson~1]

i was referring to the guy that said he should come back to DC

you don't need to drive around DC with a shotgun and two other guns. its not beirut. And unless he was delivering medicine to his dying kids, if somewhere is THAT dangerous you should not be there. WTF are you smoking? Don't be such a homer, you can be a big D-West fan and still reazlie this was asinine.
Nothin to do wit being a homer. Plax got screwed and I hate the giants. I guess it depends on how u grow up. I keep a glock n the glove box cuz its some crazy people around here. My dad keep one and he a preacher. This is just in akron so think bout dc! You say move but home is home. Delonte dumb for not having the license for the guns but to me ain't nothin wrong wit rolling around strapped. Y'all say hire a bodyguard and that's coo but sometimes I'm sure you don't want somebody following yo every move.

Congratualtions on the career Delonte, cause it's over now.

Anthony Parker has arrived to steal your minutes. Delonte on death watch

so instead you carry guns, get arrested, go to jail, and **** up your championship season and your $4 million job. he makes MILLIONS of dollars a year, he doesnt need to drive around dangerous places that require him to have a gun. its just stupid.

I agree... It's just flat out stupidity; and this is coming from a delonte fanboy. I just hope the league doesn't suspend his ass.

alright, i can see carrying a pistol on u but i mean a pistol, as in just one. this doesn't change my mind about him as a player but it's just a dumb thing to do.

Delonte is a cool dude. No need to carry so many guns but many NBA players carry 1 so......

Hope he get's things resolved though. Sounds like he has some paranoia issues to deal with though. Hope he get's better....

Yo Delonte, Im really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Plaxico Burress had one of the best weapons charge arrests of all time

He stupid for having the shotty regardless on a bike cuz that's a weapon you keep in the closet upstairs n the bedroom lol. Hate to bring this up but the homie sean taylor (r.I.p) prolly wish he had that much fire power when they ran in his crib. This the nba not the nfl he not gone get a whole bunch of games anyway and he won't be suspended till he's actually charged unlike the nfl. Guilty till proven innocent! Guns may have been registered you never know untill more info comes out

[thejumpa]

Not to mention, he could have just bought the shotgun. If they are all registered, I believe he could still be charged but it really won't be that big of a deal. Why you need 3 guns on you is beyond me, but, better guns that drugs....

[nbastatus]

What a gangster.

How do you carry 2 handgun AND a shotgun on a motorcycle??


Damn dude, didn't you ever see Terminator 2??? Arnold had that shotgun smoking:roll:

He was just trying to get street cred.

At least he didn't shoot himself in the leg and go to prison :D

[Kobe Jnr]

u cant even do this in grand theft auto

[GhostDeini32]

if he is living in pg county, choosing to the live there... he better have some guns at his disposal. one, registered gun.

but as everyone is saying, this is just a ridiculous situation. he had probably just got done watching desperado and wanted to be a bad ass like banderas. the guitar case shotgun, that is some next level gun toting.

i can picture him on 95, howling at the moon lighting up the skyline. what an idiot.

oh yeah?
