Delonte West, the NBA Cleveland Caveliers Guard has been arresed in Prince George's County last night on weapons charges as he was carrying three loaded guns.

He was driving noth on Interstate 95 near Route 214 on a three-wheeled motorcycle in the Largo area, when he cut off a police officer on his bike. The officer then pulled him over and West said he was carrying a handgun in the waistband of his pants.

That prompted the officer to call for backup, 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.

He was then arrested and charged with speeding and two counts of carrying a handgun. He was released today.

It is not known why West was armed at this time or where he was going.

Why do the keyword tags for this article include "miami hurricanes 2009 football schedule"? That's beyond a non-sequitor and borderline malicious considering the subject matter. JMO
