NBA Player Chris Wilcox was busted for illegal handgun possession. Police found a gun in his car during a traffic stop reports WBAL. He’s facing misdemeanor gun possession and up to 3 years in jail.

According to charging documents, the officer asked Wilcox if he had been drinking. After briefly hesitating, the charging documents reveal Wilcox nervously answered, “Yes, I had one drink.” Collins reported Wilcox passed a field sobriety check.

Police said a K-9 team responded to the scene and the dog reacted to something in the car.

“The officer asked Mr. Wilcox whether there was something we need to know about in the car, and he indicated that he had a gun, and a search located the gun,” Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn said.

The news blurb on the radio this afternoon said that the police used a “gun-sniffing dog”. Given the amount of guns and ammo that have been in an out of my car over the years, the dog would almost always hit on my car. But then I live work and play in Virginia, where open carry is legal and concealed carry is accepted.
