Former NBA player Sebastian Telfair was caught riding around in a vehicle with a damn arsenal in the car and, oh, marijuana, authorities say.
The 32-year-old New York street ball legend was charged with multiple infractions after a Brooklyn, N.Y., traffic stop resulted in authorities finding “firearms, a semi-automatic rifle, ammunition, a ballistic vest and marijuana inside their vehicle,” ESPN reports.
Telfair and another man were arrested at the scene; it was unclear if Telfair was still in custody or if he had a lawyer.

According to CBS News, the 2004 NBA draft pick, who currently lives in Orlando, Fla., was arrested just before 3 a.m. Sunday after an F-150 truck he was in was pulled over after being illegally parked on a median and pulling off without headlights.
Telfair played for several teams during his 10-year basketball career, including the Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves. His career ended after a failed stint in China in 2014.
This isn’t Telfair’s first brush with the law; he was arrested after a traffic stop in 2007 when police said they found a loaded handgun inside his vehicle. He pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a weapon and was sentenced to three years of probation, CBS News reports.
