Cavs' West faces more charges in Maryland
By SARAH KARUSH
WASHINGTON (AP) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West is
facing additional weapons and traffic charges in connection to his
Sept. 17 arrest in Prince George's County, Md.
The 26-year-old West was indicted Tuesday on two counts of
carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of carrying a handgun, two
counts of transporting a handgun, and one each for reckless driving
and negligent driving. Each weapons count carries a penalty of up
to three years in prison.
West was initially charged with just two counts of carrying a
handgun and speeding. Authorities say he was riding a three-wheel
motorcycle on a highway in Upper Marlboro when he cut off an
officer, who pulled him over. Police found two loaded handguns on
him and a loaded shotgun in a guitar case strapped to his back.
