UPDATE: Per The Big Lead, Raymond Felton allegedly pointed a gun at his girlfriend, which led to his arrest. It's not yet clear what happened fully, but the New York Daily News reports that an unidentified woman went to the police with Felton's gun, which led to the Knicks guard's arrest:
Felton surrendered after an unidentified woman dropped off his gun at the 20th Precinct stationhouse in the Upper West Side.
Felton, 29, is married to a 26-year-old law student who filed for divorce on him, so this piece of news right there that was just reported is very interesting.

It looks like things could actually get worse for a guy like Raymond Felton. The New York Knicks point guard was arrested early Tuesday morning for three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, via ESPN.
A spokesman of the New York Police Department says Felton was charged with second- and third-degree criminal possession of a firearm (both of those are felonies), and a fourth-degree possession of a firearm (which is a misdemeanor).
Felton will appear in court later Tuesday in Manhattan. The 29-year-old, of course, wasn't using these weapons in a menacing manner but he was not registered to possess them, the spokesman says. Felton turned himself in at 12:50 a.m. on Tuesday following a Knicks' loss to the Dallas Mavericks only a few hours earlier.
Felton, the eight-year veteran, is averaging 10.4 points, six assists and three rebounds per game this season.
