Delonte West is…El Mariachi

Throughout history, athletes have been known to do some hilarious stupid stuff.  It seems as though Delonte West may have just set the new benchmark.  The man who may arguably be “the realest dude in the NBA” (Don’t believe me? go read this), was arrested for…I’m not going to ruin it. Lets go to the Washington Post,

An NBA star and former area high school player was pulled over and arrested in Prince George’s County on Thursday night after a police officer found he was carrying three loaded guns, authorities said.

Delonte West, a guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was driving a three-wheeled motorcycle north on Interstate 95 near Route 214 in the Largo area when he cut off a Prince George’s County police officer, authorities said. The officer pulled him over, and West told the officer that he was carrying a handgun in his waistband.

That prompted the officer to call for backup, and investigators found that West was actually carrying three guns: a Beretta 9mm in his waistband, a Ruger .357 strapped to his leg and a shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back, said Maj. Andy Ellis, a spokesman for the Prince George’s County Police Department.

West, who is 26 and lives in Brandywine, was arrested and charged with speeding and two counts of carrying a handgun, Ellis said. He was released today on personal recognizance, according to Ellis and online court records.

Ellis said it was unclear where West was going and why he was armed.

Come on man…seriously? “A shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back”? I couldn’t make that up if I wanted to.  Now, if the internet is truly awesome, this is what will happen next.

1. Someone will photoshop a picture of Delonte West into the movie Desperado with a guitar case.

2. Someone else will take that photoshopped picture and put Kanye West in it with the line:

“Delonte West, you had a good gun arrest and I’ma let you finish, but T.I. had the best gun arrest of all time!”

I’m waiting, internet.
