In the latest “athlete who got off easy” news, Gilbert Arenas was just sentenced to 30 days at a halfway house. This stems fro his weapons charge after he illegally brought 4 loaded guns to the Wizards locker room to “settle a gambling debt” with a teammate. Gilbert claims they were only joking around and play fighting, but text messages and notes uncovered this week led the prosecution to believe he deliberately lied. Over 40 guns were also found in his home despite Gilbert not having a license for them.

The judge stated in court to Gilbert, “The fact that you are a good person doesn’t diminish your wrong doing, and additional punishment must be imparted.”

Despite the prosecution demanding 3 months jail time, the D.C. judge only ordered 30 days in a halfway house. And according to ESPN, Gilbert was also sentenced to two years probation and must donate $5,000 to victims of violent crimes fund and do 400 hours community service.
