GREAT FALLS, Va. (AP) — Gilbert Arenas has arrived home from the halfway house where he lived for nearly a month as part of his sentence for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room.

Arenas left the work-release facility in the Maryland suburbs of Washington and arrived at his house in Great Falls, Va., on Friday morning. His sentence also includes two years of probation, a $5,000 fine and 400 hours of community service that can’t be performed at basketball clinics.

Arenas pleaded guilty to felony gun possession in January and was sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house in March.

He began his sentence April 9 and was allowed to leave early because the Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t release offenders from halfway houses on weekends.
