Breaking News: Delonte West Arrested (UPDATED)
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Delonte West was arrested last night for weapons possesion near his offseason home in Maryland. The Cavs guard was pulled over for an unsafe lane change on his motorcycle. Police found two hand guns and a shotgun with West.

UPDATE:
According to Matt Zapotosky of The Washington Post, Delonte was driving a three-wheeled motorcycle 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.

Why the heck these guys do this…. Instead of being all thug, cant they just focus on basketball and get LeQueen a ring?
September 18th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
doc says:
The way I see it.Its either get arrested like this,pay bail then spank the case.Or end up like Darrent Williams,Sean Taylor, Paul Pierce,or any famous athlete caught without a gun in philly.Dead and gone or damn near dead and gone.

I love it.
Anyway, what’s with this gay ass myspace picture of Delonte West? I’m sure you guys can find a better picture. Perhaps with a shirt on and a ball.
And how the hell is he carrying a shotgun and two handguns on his bike? that shit would almost have to be in the open for everyone to see. The handguns he could hide, but a Shotty?
September 18th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
doc says:
Yeah he was on some other shit.How was he hiding a big ass shotty on a bike?Sawed off or not unless he had on a dam trench you can see that.

Shhhhhhiiiiiitttttttt.. Delonte was about to put in some straight hood work..
September 18th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Dan Dickau says:
Guys, Delonte may be in some serious trouble here if it was a murder he was running from. Perhaps this isn’t the forum for jokes.
Do you guys think he killed someone?

Maybe he was just headed to a team buffet dinner and wanted to get something to eat. You know Shaq don’t allow cuts.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Schmoovetastic says:
First of all are any of you surprised?????? No… I don’t think so. Second if he had just killed someone and was getting rolled do you think he would have stopped???? HEll no he would been tearin up the streets trying to get away probably lettin a few fly at the cops.
Oh and when he is doin time I believe we will be hearing clips of him saying things like “You better have my Corn-Bread and “I got soap on a rope, I got soap on a rope.”
Ignorant idiot, dude needs help and a few hugs.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
BERN BROGDEN aka BINO BROWN STR8 UP N DOWN says:
He’ll be alright. He did look ready to move on somebody.
Or maybe he really was movin’ out, ya dig?
I doubt it. Besides, others done worse.
One. He’s a millionaire, so he probably got licenses for them thangs.
Two. He can afford a good lawyer.
Three. Most importantly —– the cops gave him ROR, dawg. ROR – with shotguns and 9′s and rugers while driving an atv, recklessly —- and all he got was ROR?????
He’ll spank that then he’ll come to camp and spank Candace Parker’s bro for the starting gig.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
LakeShow84 says:
Shit on a serious note..
Were the guns registered?? Cuz if they aint he got some serious trouble on his hands..
On a funny note a token black guy shouldve popped up outanowhere and said “uh uh ni$$a dont do that! thats 5-10!”

He had two burners and a shotty on a bike? That’s some GTA stuff right there. However, the way these atheletes have been caught out there these days, can’t say I blame him.

LOL @ 12. I think we all read that and said the same thing, “On a MOTORCYCLE?”
Dime, yall are wrong for that pic yall posted of Delonte. Have you ever noticed that when somebody gets arrested for some dumbness in the news, the news reporters always find the most goonish pic of them?

Bron42 aka Had Springs before Slamball says:
Damn son went straight desparado wit the gun in the guitar case lol I agree wit doc though, as quickly as people say “oh athletes shouldn’t carry guns” you can point out cases where people targeted athletes. Hell people rolled up in springs house and killed him. The guy from the bills had people spray paint his front lawn. And you hardly hear about athletes goin out shootin people….well not countin ray carroth
September 18th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Dan Dickau says:
@Rico
Thanks for the info. This is devastating to hear. I can’t believe he murdered three people. He’s definitely going to miss at least one season.
Guys, let’s everybody keep Delonte and his family in our prayers tonight, he’s going to need all the support he can get.
God Bless,

the cynic says:
well everyone has already busted out the movie references I would have made.
Has there been any news if these were unregistered weapons? I highly doubt Delonte is dumb enough to tell an officer he is carry an unregistered hand gun in his waist. People are well within there rights to carry a gun, and rich people do get put in the crosshairs, but 3 guns! really delonte!?!?! was the third in case the sidearm got stolen? I guess i should have 2 spare tires in the back of my car from now on
September 18th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
rangerjohn says:
i keep reading people talking about things like he might get shot or robbed so he needs to carry? i mean damn i live in houston which has a pretty high crime rate, i drive a nice truck, and i have never had a problem. wouldnt it be a better idea to rather then be carrying ridiculous guns, just stay away from those areas of town? i mean damn you have made millions, you dont need to hang out in the ghetto. hell i am a white guy who has lived in a 3rd world country driving a nice BMW and was never once even looked at wrong. it is all about looking for trouble and carrying 3 guns, HE WAS LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. i hope he gets plaxicoed or vicked in this one, make an example out of his dumb ass.

**UPDATE**
“Delonte West was protecting John Connor from the T-1000. All charges have been dropped.”
Whoo. I was getting real worried there for a second. Let’s continue to pray for Delonte and his family.

how can you be strapped on a tricycle???? or maybe that’s why he was strapped… because i would have clowned his ass
September 19th, 2009 at 3:41 am
hadoken says:
why the fuck is he cutting off a cop? this dumbass deserves to go to jail unless he forgot that he was packing which he obviously didn’t. i dont care how hard of a nigga he thinks he is, no gangster with half a brain would go all reckless on the highway near anything with flashing lights. i know you bailed yourself out of jail already, delonte, and i hope you have fun enjoying your freedom while you got it, cuz your ass is going right back to jail eventually, herpes lip.

i wanna know where he was goin with all them. one gun for protection is almost understandable, but 2 handguns an a shotty!! he was either movin’ house or somethin big was about to go down.

Chise says:
Yo real talk…
The people closest to Delonte better keep a close eye on him right now and they should probably be legitimately worried. Wasn’t dude battling some social disorder or mental health issue awhile back? I dunno man this whole situation seems eerily too similiar to Maurice Clarette, I really hope Delonte ain’t lose his marbles like Marbury did.
