the Stadium: Gilbert Arenas Set to Plea


Several news sources are reporting that Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas will enter a plea in exchange for either a reduced jail term or no jail at all.

Details of the plea have yet to be released, however, Agent Zero is set to appear in a DC court this afternoon and plea guilty to one count of carrying a pistol with no license which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison.

Gilbert Arenas was suspended without pay by the NBA on Jan 6, 2010 pending the results of the criminal and NBA investigations into the locker room incident that occurred on December 21 between him and teammate Jarvis Crittendon. The NBA and the Wizards have been mum regarding the ramifications for Gilbert's guilty plea, but I'm sure a statement will be issued after the plea is made official.

At this time, Crittendon has not been charged with a crime even though the police searched his apartment today looking for the gun that several anonymous witnesses stated he pulled and loaded during the incident.

More details will be provided so keep checking back.
