SHARE Gilbert Arenas charged with felony for gun incident

Washinton Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has been charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside home or business, according to the Washington Post.

The charge, a felony, stems from a Christmas Eve incident with teammate Javaris Crittenton in which the duo allegedly pulled guns on each other in the Wizards locker room.

Arenas was suspended indefinitely without pay by NBA commissioner David Stern on Jan. 6.
