<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Former Bulls player Lonny Baxter was sentenced Wednesday to two months in jail after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges of carrying a gun a few blocks from the White House. Baxter, who played with the Charlotte Bobcats last season, has been in jail since his arrest Aug. 16, when uniformed Secret Service officers responded to reports of shots being fired from a white sport utility vehicle. Officers found a gun and spent shell casings in the SUV that Baxter was driving. The 27-year-old player and his passenger, Francis I. Martin, 35, were charged with carrying a handgun without a license and other firearms charges. Prosecutors dropped the case against Martin on Wednesday. Baxter appeared Wednesday before District of Columbia Superior Court judge Craig Iscoe and apologized for the "careless, selfish, stupid act that I committed."</div> Source It?s really quite sad. I always liked Lonny Baxter during his time in Chicago, despite him being a disappointment. I remember a couple of years ago when he was still with the Bulls he won the MVP of nearly ever summer league we participated in. For some reason however he never lived up to the hype built around him when the games actually counted.
