Ball Don't Lie - NBA

This is not how you want to start a weekend ...

Cavaliers guard Delonte West(notes) was arrested Thursday night for weapons possession.

Brian Windhorst of the Plain Dealer reports:

WUSA, a television station in Washington D.C., reported today that West was pulled over in Prince George's County, MD., at 10 p.m. Thursday night for making an unsafe lane change on his motorcycle. The police say West had two handguns and a shotgun in his possession and he was arrested.

West was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 20.

Yes, you read that correctly. Delonte was somehow concealing two handguns and a shotgun while riding a freakin' motorcycle. You can't even do that in "Grand Theft Auto," can you? This does not sound good.

More info to come.

UPDATE: According to Matt Zapotosky at The Washington Post, Delonte was driving a three-wheeled motorcycle (like the one pictured right, I guess) when he cut off the Prince George's County cop.

The officer pulled him over, and West told the officer that that he was carrying a handgun in his waistband.

That prompted the officer to call for back up, and investigators found that West was actually carrying three guns — a Beretta 9mm in his waistband, a Ruger .357 strapped to his leg and a shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back, said Maj. Andy Ellis, a spokesman for the Prince George's County Police Department.

As of now, it is still unclear where West was going or why in the world he was armed.

    For Cleveland fans, we're used to getting bad news on the weekends (though it usually doesn't come until Sunday afternoons).

    In a word PLAXICO...can athletes NOT learn from other's mistakes. Nothing will happen to him..he will get a plea and do some kind of community service (like a guy with 3 guns on a bike cares about community)..if this happened to me, I'd be locked up and would get no plea. Nice role model, West. Moron.

    up on further inspection they discoverd that the motorcycle can transform into a bazooka. so he will be facing more charges how 's that for a story. Maybe Lebron can add that to his movie, a motorcycle that transforms into a bazooka. LOL
