Wizards guard Javaris Crittenton was charged with two misdemeanor counts of unlawful gun possession earlier today, but has already entered a guilty plea on one of the charges, as part of a deal with prosecutors, the Post’s Keith Alexander and Mike Wise report from D.C. Superior Court.

Senior Judge Bruce Beaudin on Monday agreed with the prosecutor’s suggestion and sentenced Crittenton to one year of unsupervised probation and $1,250 in fines. Crittenton also agreed to begin a mentoring program to District children and work with the NBA on relief for Haiti earthquake victims.

The sentence comes after suspended Wizards player Gilbert Arenas pleaded guilty to felony gun possession last week, charges that stemmed from the very same locker room incident that involved the two players brandishing weapons inside the Verizon Center. Arenas is still awaiting sentencing.

Crittenton reportedly said in court that he brought the gun inside the District of Columbia because he feared for his life and took Arenas’ threats seriously. Earlier descriptions of the locker room incident had Crittenton actually loading his gun, but his attorney disputed that claim today.

“Mr. Crittenton brought a lawfully owned, unloaded handgun into Washington, D.C. only because he legitimately feared for his life. The government’s proffer of facts to be filed today acknowledges that his handgun was not loaded and that he never threatened anyone with it. The gun was legally purchased, but bringing it into the District, even for self defense, violated the city’s strict gun control laws,” said his lawyer, Peter White.
