Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West is facing additional weapons and traffic charges in connection with his Sept. 17 arrest in Prince George’s County.

The 26-year-old West was indicted Tuesday on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, and one count each of reckless driving and negligent driving. Each weapons count carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.

West initially was charged with just two counts of carrying a handgun and speeding. Authorities say he was riding a three-wheel motorcycle on the Capital Beltway in Upper Marlboro when he cut off an officer, who pulled him over. Police found two loaded handguns on him and a loaded shotgun in a guitar case strapped to his back.
