No Jail Time For Arenas

A judge has ordered suspended Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas to spend 30 days in a halfway house on gun charges that rose from a locker-room confrontation with teammate Javaris Crittenton.

Prosecutors had recommended that Arenas serve three months in jail. Defense attorneys argued Arenas didn't deserve jail time for what they described as a misguided prank Crittenton.

The whole "Pick 1" thought in the locker room apparently was conveniently dismissed by Arenas' attorneys.

Arenas pleaded guilty to violating the city's gun laws in the December 21 incident at Verizon Center following an argument over an unpaid gambling debt.

Court papers revealed prosecutors said Crittenton had legitimate reason to believe Arenas' threat was genuine.
