Gilbert Arenas in Halfway House Soon

Washington Wizards basketball star Gilbert Arenas has been sentenced to spend 30 days in a halfway house. The sentence also includes two years of probation, a $5,000 fine, and 400 hours of community service.

Prosecutors wanted him locked up for three months for the felony gun possession charge, while Arenas’ lawyers had sought community service and probation.

It will be at least five days before Arenas begins his time. Halfway houses provide a structured environment with nightly curfews and other rules, but residents are not locked down. They usually feature a community-living environment.
