Prosecutors seek jail for Arenas
Prosecutors have recommended that Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas be sentenced to three months in jail for bringing guns into his team's locker room, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

In a sentencing memo to the court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher R. Kavanaugh said Arenas at first gave inconsistent statements about why he had the guns in the Verizon Center locker room and did not show remorse, the newspaper reported.

Kavanaugh claimed that Arenas, who pleaded guilty to a felony charge of carrying a pistol without a license on Jan. 15, has shown "little genuine remorse for anything other than how this incident may affect his career," according to the report.

"If any other individual without fame, power and the wealth of this defendant, brought four firearms into the District for the purpose of a similar confrontation, the government would seek their incarceration and the court would almost certainly give it," Kavanaugh wrote, according to the Post.

Good. I think he should be treated like anyone else, the idiot.
