Delonte West reaches plea agreement in weapons case
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. -- Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in Maryland on weapons and traffic charges.
A spokesman for Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey says West will plead guilty to carrying concealed weapons and transporting loaded weapons. His deal says he'll do court-supervised electronic monitoring, complete community service and undergo psychological counseling.
While waiting before the hearing Thursday, West said he feels "blessed."
Authorities say the basketball player was carrying two loaded handguns, a loaded shotgun and a knife while speeding on a three-wheel motorcycle on a highway last September. Police say West, who lives in Brandywine, Md., was pulled over after cutting off an officer.
