15/01/2010 01:22:09

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas(notes) was charged Thursday with felony gun possession in connection with a Dec. 21 locker room confrontation with a teammate.

Prosecutors charged Arenas with one count of carrying a pistol without a license, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The charges were filed in D.C. Superior Court in an “information,” a document that generally signals a plea deal.

Arenas is scheduled to appear Friday afternoon before a judge. Arenas’ lawyer had no immediate comment. The NBA declined to comment.
