Gilbert Arenas was charged Thursday with felony gun possession, a crime that carries a maximum five years in jail and a fine, authorities said.

The charge was filed Thursday afternoon by the U.S. Attorney's office for the District.

The U.S. Attorney's office alleged that on Dec. 21, Arenas "did carry, openly and concealed on or about his person, in a place other than his dwelling place, place of business or on other land possessed by him, a pistol, without license issued pursuant to law."

Arenas is currently on indefinite suspension by the NBA.

The Wizards issued the following statement to RealGM and other news outlets on Thursday:

"We are aware of the charge filed against Gilbert Arenas today and will continue to follow the ongoing legal process very carefully. We will also continue to cooperate fully with the proper authorities and the NBA. Beyond our previous statements on this serious and unfortunate matter, will have no further comment at this time.”

I could see him getting released in the next few days. This definitely voids his contract so the contract wont effect the Wizards and cant wait to see Arenas in jail what a dumbass.

Arenas Reaches Plea Deal

Gilbert Arenas has been charged with a felony gun possession that carries a maximum five-year sentence, but has reached a plea agreement that could result in much less or even no jail time, several sources close to the case said.

Arenas is scheduled to plead guilty Friday afternoon before D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin, who must decide Arenas's sentence.

He has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA, and it is unclear whether a felony conviction would give the Wizards the right to void the remaining four years of his six-year, $111 million contract.

Arenas and his attorney, Kenneth L. Wainstein, declined to comment, as did officials in the U.S. Attorney's Office.
