Last night, former A-10 three time scoring champ Dionte Christmas was arrested on Nedro Avenue near Broad Street after being spotted driving erratically in a car with heavily tinted windows, according to Philly Confidential, an online blog for the Philadelphia Daily News. After officers stopped him, officers found that Christmas was driving without a license and spotted a loaded semiautomatic handgun under the driver’s seat. It was later determined that the car Christmas was driving and the gun belonged to Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Marreese Speights. Christmas also had a passenger with him, but was not charged with any wrong doing.
Following his career at Temple last year, Christmas went undrafted in the NBA and on Wednesday was waived by the Sixers after playing four preseason games with the team.
