Suspended Washington Wizards three-time All-Star guard Gilbert Arenas was sentenced today, Friday, March 26th,  to 30 days in a halfway house for bringing guns into the team's locker room.  Arenas pled  pleading guilty on January 15 to felony weapons possession. In addition to the halfway house detention, Gilbert Arenas was sentenced  to  two years' probation, four hundred hours of community service,  and a five thousand dollars fine. Gilbert Arenas apologized in court for his actions, saying, "Every day, I wake up wishing it did not happen." (The Associated Press)

Arenas' lawyers asked for probation and community service, arguing that Arenas was playing a misguided prank with no intention to harm anybody. The lawyers pointed out that "the guns were unloaded, that Arenas' lighthearted comments about the incident were misinterpreted, and that he's a good role model who goes beyond the call of duty when it comes to community service."
