Prosecutors seek 3 months behind bars for Arenas

Published



NBA star Gilbert Arenas should spend three months behind bars for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, prosecutors said in documents filed Tuesday.

The sentence recommendation is at least three months fewer than the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said it would seek as part of its plea deal in January. Lawyers for Arenas, who pleaded guilty to one count of carrying a pistol without a license in January, said a more appropriate punishment is probation and community service.
