Gilbert Arenas Arrested With a Truckload of Illegal Fireworks a Week Before the 4th of July

Law enforcement sources tell us Arenas was pulled over by California Highway Patrol around 2:30 AM in Los Angeles for speeding in a Ford pickup — but officers immediately saw that the truck was filled with fireworks … sitting in plain sight in the bed and cab of the truck.

We’re told Arenas was arrested and will be booked for possession of illegal fireworks — and will be cited for speeding — he was allegedly doing 80 mph — and driving without a license.

There were so many fireworks in the truck that the bomb squad had to come unload it. I would ask what he was doing with so many fireworks, but 4th of July is a week away. Obviously, Gilbert Arenas was planning an amazing fireworks display. For that he should be commended. [via TMZ]
