WASHINGTON (AP) -Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas says he took unloaded guns from his locker in a “misguided effort to play a joke” on a teammate.
Arenas released a written statement after meeting with law enforcement officials Monday.
Arenas’ lawyer says the player voluntarily met with prosecutors and detectives and answered every question during a two-hour interview.
In the statement, Arenas acknowledges that “what I did was a mistake and was wrong.” He says he now realizes “there’s no such thing as joking around when it comes to guns even if unloaded.”
Arenas repeated his earlier assertion that he brought four guns to the Verizon Center to store in his locker to get them out of his house and away from his children.
