Wizards' Arenas to spend 30 days in halfway house

WASHINGTON – Suspended Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas was ordered Friday to spend 30 days in a halfway house for his conviction on gun charges stemming from a locker-room confrontation with a teammate.

District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin also sentenced Arenas to 400 of community service, which cannot be conducted at basketball clinics, and $5,000 fine.

Arenas apologized in court for his actions, saying, "Every day, I wake up wishing it did not happen."

Arenas pleaded guilty to violating the city's gun laws in a Dec. 21 incident at Verizon Center. Following an argument over an unpaid gambling debt, Arenas brought several guns to the Wizards' locker room and set them in front of Javaris Crittenton's locker with a sign telling him to "PICK 1."

Thats such bullshit. He should be in jail for three months. Celebrity treatment AGAIN.:banghead:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He's NOT going to JAIL he's going to a halfway house. Where he will be able to come and go. Anybody else doing what he did would be in jail for several months.

...I hear the Wizards can't dump him, either, something about a double jeopardy clause...they already suspended him for the incident, so now trying to dump him would be a no-no, at least the Union will see it that way.
