07/15/2010 -

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West is scheduled to appear in court in Maryland for a plea hearing stemming from his 2009 arrest for carrying weapons and speeding on a motorcycle.

A spokesman for Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey says the hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning.

West's attorney and his agent did not return requests for comment Wednesday.

Authorities say the NBA player was carrying two loaded handguns, a loaded shotgun and a Bowie knife while speeding on a three-wheel motorcycle on a highway last September. Police say West, who lives in Brandywine, Md., was pulled over after cutting off an officer.

It's illegal in Maryland to carry concealed weapons and to transport loaded handguns.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
