New York Knick Raymond Felton was arrested early Tuesday morning on weapons possession charged, after published reports say he pointed a gun at a woman.
The Knicks’ starting point guard was charged after he turned himself into the 20th precinct station house on Manhattan’s Upper West Side hours after New York lost to the Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden.
Reports say Felton recently filed for divorce from his wife of 19 months.
Felton was charged with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, including possessing a firearm, having it loaded, and possessing an ammunition clip.
He was expected to to appear in criminal court in Manhattan later Tuesday.
Felton, 29, signed a three-year, $ 10 million contract with the team prior to the 2012-13 season, but was the subject of trade rumors prior to last week’s trade deadline.
His arrest comes six years after New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress was arrested on firearms charges after he accidentally shot himself in the leg in a Manhattan nightclub. Burress subsequently spent nearly two years in jail after being convicted.
