Javaris Crittenton was charged in D.C. Superior Court Monday with two gun counts, coming from his locker room confrontation with Gilbert Arenas at the Verizon Center in December.

Crittenton was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and attempting to carry a pistol without a license, both misdemeanors. Each charge carries a maximum year in jail. Law enforcement and NBA sources said Crittenton is working on a plea agreement in which Crittenton would plead guilty to one of the misdemeanors.

Crittenton's lawyer, in a statement, acknowledged the plea deal. "Mr. Crittenton, who was 21 years old at the time of this incident, has never before been arrested or charged with any crime, and with today's misdemeanor plea to possession of an unregistered firearm, accepts responsibility for his conduct," the lawyer, Peter White, said. "He looks forward to explaining his actions to the NBA and returning to the basketball court as soon as possible."
