07/15/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West pled
guilty to weapons and traffic charges stemming from his arrest last September,
according to a report in the Washington Post.
The judge in Prince George's County Circuit Court sentenced West to eight
months of electronic monitoring and home detention, two years of probation, 40
hours of community service and psychological counseling. He will be allowed to
attend practices, home games and away games, the paper said.
West was indicted on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of
carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, one count of
reckless driving and one count of negligent driving.
West, 26, faced up to three years in jail for each weapons charge and a $2,500
fine per offense.
In September, he was arrested following a traffic stop on his motorcycle for
allegedly carrying a 8.5-inch Bowie-style knife, a 9mm Beretta, a Ruger .357
and a shotgun inside a guitar case that was hanging on his back.
During the 2008-09 season, West left the Cavaliers during training camp to be
treated for what he later said was bipolar disorder, according to The
Cleveland Plain Dealer at the time.
The St. Joseph's product, a six-year pro, missed the first three games of the
2009-10 season before returning and averaging 8.8 points and 3.3 assists in 60
regular season games for the club.
