UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP)—Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West(notes) was arrested Thursday after officers pulled him over for speeding on a motorcycle while carrying two loaded handguns and a loaded shotgun in a guitar case.

Prince George’s County police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Reedy said Friday the Cleveland Cavaliers player was arrested about 10 p.m. Thursday.

AP - Sep 18, 4:54 pm EDT 1 of 2 NBA Gallery Reedy said West was riding a Can-Am Spyder motorcycle north on the Capital Beltway in Upper Marlboro when he cut off an officer, who pulled him over.

Police said a handgun was found in his pocket, another in his pant leg and a shotgun in a guitar case strapped to his back.

Reedy said West “was very cooperative, there were no issues” during the incident.

The 26-year-old West, who lives in Brandywine, was charged with speeding and weapons counts. It is illegal to carry concealed weapons and to transport loaded guns in Maryland, according to police. Reedy said West was released on his own recognizance early Friday.

Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said the team was monitoring the situation.

“We have been in communication with Delonte and his family,” Ferry said in a statement. “We are gathering more information and will not have further comment until the appropriate time.”

Online court records did not list an attorney for West.

Last year, West left the Cavaliers’ training camp to seek treatment for depression and a “mood disorder” he said he has battled his entire life. At the time, he said he was taking medication and attending therapy sessions. West said his mood problems date to his childhood.

West has said his mood swings seem to be most erratic when his life seems to be in order.

Cpl. Clinton Copeland, a Prince George’s County police spokesman, said West was carrying a Beretta 9mm handgun, a Ruger .357 magnum handgun, and a Remington 870 shotgun. Copeland said the penalties West could face if convicted had not been determined.

The issue for me is not only the gun charges but also his mental state. He has admittedly had some psychological problems, I am very empathetic to that, and it is scary to think this same guy has two pistols and a shotgun on the back of a motorcycle.

Listen, guns have never helped an athlete. (One could argue they never really helped any situation only one's perception of that situation but we won't delve into that) It's tough because there's that perception that they are targets but it is irrational. Now for him to pack that much heat is incredibly paranoid. Which doesn't bode well for someone with a hx of psychological problems. Honestyl, I think you need to be a little paranoid walk away with loaded weaponry anyway but I think it should even more concerning because of his hx.

I don't know him or what he went through specifically in his struggles, but that is my concern for him. Depression, Paranoia, and Weaponry is usually a poor combination.
