This seems a bit excessive.
A former NBA player has been charged with a crime after a police raid on the house of an alleged drug-dealer where he was staying uncovered heroin, meth, guns, a grenade launcher and several prostitutes.
Robert Swift, 28, who joined the Seattle Sonics straight out of high school, has been described as a ’heavily armed heroin addict’ by prosecutors in King Country, Washington.
Police raided the property last month, and seized a number of weapons from Swift’s bedroom, including a military-style grenade launcher and sawed-off shotgun.
On Thursday, Swift was charged Thursday with unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun, after police found seven firearms on or under his bed and a 40mm grenade launcher in a safe in his room, in addition to the sawed-off shotgun.
What exactly was Swift planning to do with the grenade launcher (I know what he was going to do with the hookers)? Swift who was a high draft pick of the Seattle Sonics (not Oklahoma City Thunder) flamed out pretty quickly because of his drug problem.
This isn’t his first run in with the law, he was accused of squatting on a house last year.
