Former NBAer Sebastian Telfair was reportedly arrested on Sunday after officers found him and another man parked illegally in a truck in Brooklyn. According to PIX 11, Telfair had guns, ammunition, a bulletproof vest, and two bags of marijuana.

According to PIX 11, Telfair was charged with crimes related to the paraphernalia in the truck after his arrest. Telfair previously plead guilty in 2008 to criminal possession of a handgun after a 2007 traffic stop revealed a .45 caliber handgun in Telfair’s car.

He was way over-hyped during the draft. The problem wasn't his skill set or size as much as it was his character. He had serious maturity and leadership issues. For that reason alone, the Jail Blazers drafted him.
