The Washington Wizards basketball player Gilbert Arenas has pleaded guilty to felony weapons possession and faces up to six months in prison under his plea deal for bringing four guns into the team's locker room.
Arenas, who signed a six-year, 150 million dollar contract in 2008, has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA over last month's incident at the Verizon Center.
Arenas, who has said the guns were unloaded, entered the guilty plea to the single felony count during a standing-room-only hearing that lasted just under 30 minutes in District of Columbia Superior Court.
The charge, carrying a pistol without a license in violation of D.C. law, carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
A tentative sentencing date of March 26th was set.
