Breaking News: Cavs Guard Delonte West Indicted On Six Weapons Offenses Written by: Robert Littal
This just came down from AP Wire:
West was indicted on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, and one count each of reckless driving and negligent driving. The charges are all misdemeanors. Each of the weapons counts carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.
West was initially charged with just two counts of carrying a handgun and with driving in excess of reasonable and prudent speed.
I don’t know if Lebron has enough pull to get him out of this situation. Remember Plaxico Burress got two years in jail for shooting himself with an expired licensed weapon. That was in NYC I will be checking with some lawyers to see with the Maryland laws are looking like.
Delonte has always been a weird dude (see video below):
There is a fine line between someone being funny and someone crying out for help. Stephon Marbury would be a prime example of that. No one knows why Delonte was carry so much heat (on a motocycle at that).
It always seemed to me that there was something more happening below the surface that no one has really addressed. The Cavs already have there share of issues, so this definitely is not coming at a good time. I will keep this post updated if and when more information comes in.
