The investigation of Gilbert Arenas and the guns he brought to the Verizon Center took a more serious turn Friday amid a report that the Wizards guard and teammate Javaris Crittenton allegedly drew on each other during a locker-room argument over a gambling debt.
Arenas responded with a flurry of messages on Twitter, at times making light of the news but also making one tweet that read somewhat like a denial: "I understand this is serious..but if u ever met me you know i dont do serious things im a goof ball this story today dont sound goofy to me."
The NBA and the Wizards would only confirm that an investigation is taking place — and it's being led by law enforcement, not the league. The capital has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation.
The Wizards and Arenas both have acknowledged that Arenas kept guns in his locker. Arenas has said he took his unloaded guns to the Verizon Center because he didn't want them in his house after the birth of his latest child.
