Raymond Felton arrested on weapons charges

[Sportsguy9695]

New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton was arrested early Tuesday morning on three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, according to a New York Police Department spokesman.

Felton was charged with second- and third-degree criminal possession of a firearm, which are felonies, and fourth-degree possession of a firearm, which is a misdemeanor, the spokesman said.

Felton is expected to appear in criminal court in Manhattan later Tuesday morning. The charges don't stem from him using the firearm in a menacing manner but of possessing a gun he wasn't registered to have, according to the spokesman.

Felton, 29, turned himself in at 12:50 a.m. Tuesday and was questioned at the 20th Precinct in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, hours after the Knicks' loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the spokesman said.

Felton signed a three-year, $10 million contract with the Knicks prior to the 2012-13 season.

Oh boy.... another player buyout looming??
This season has been an unmitigated disaster.
The front office is horrible...so are most of the current players....as well as the coach and GM.
James Dolan needs to sell the team.
