Cleveland Cavaliers guard indicted on gun charges

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West has been indicted on concealed weapons charges stemming from a September traffic stop during which police said they found a shotgun hidden in a guitar case strapped across his back and other guns in his possession.

West faced a league suspension for the weapons charges, which a Prince George’s County grand jury formally filed against him Tuesday afternoon. Police said West was speeding on his three-wheeled motorcycle Sept. 17 when he cut off a K-9 officer on the Capital Beltway. After he was pulled over, a search revealed the shotgun in the guitar case, a loaded 9 mm in his pants pocket and a loaded .357 Magnum strapped to his leg.
