(CelebNMusic247-NewsGilbert Arenas Arrested For Fireworks

Ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas will be sitting out this 4th of July, because police arrested him early this morning for illegal fireworks!

Arenas had a full truckload of FIREWORKS which has been confiscated by law enforcement. The former Wizards/Grizzlies baller has been charged for possession of illegal fireworks, as well as speeding.

Here’s the deets:

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 cited for speeding — he was allegedly doing 80 mph — and driving without a license.

It’s unclear exactly how much fireworks were in the truck, but it was enough that the LAPD bomb squad was called to handle the illegal booty.

Our camera guy counted around 20 boxes being unloaded … very carefully.

Arenas — whose last NBA team was the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2011-12 season — was infamously busted for gun possession when he brandished a loaded pistol in his Washington Wizards locker room back in 2010.

Now boom for Gilbert!
