Former Terp Wilcox arrested on handgun charge
Member of 2002 NCAA championship team pulled over in Columbia

Former University of Maryland basketball player Chris Wilcox, now of the Los Angeles Clippers, was arrested early this morning after police discovered a handgun in his car during a traffic stop.

Howard County police said they pulled over a silver BMW that was weaving southbound on Route 29 in Columbia around 1 a.m. A K-9 team in the area also responded to assist, according to police, and the dog reacted to something inside the car.

Wilcox, who was driving the vehicle with another passenger inside, then told the officer he had a gun in the car, police said.

The officer discovered a .357 revolver in a pocket behind the front passenger seat, and authorities said one spent casing was found in the weapon. According to police, live ammunition and two spent shell casings were also found inside the car.

It was unknown when the bullets were fired. Wilcox, 22, could not provide documentation that the gun belonged to him or that he had a permit for the weapon, police said.

Wilcox, of Laurel, was charged with transporting a handgun in a vehicle and released on his own recognizance, authorities said. The passenger, who police did not identify, was not charged.

Wilcox was a member of the Terrapins' 2002 NCAA championship team during his sophomore year. He was drafted by the Clippers that June as the No. 8 overall pick.

He didn't think driving with an apparently unlicensed handgun with spent casings might get him in trouble? Excuse me?

I have NO sympathy for him whatsoever.
 
VF I think Fillmoe is saying that Wilcox is young and stupid...plain and simply

My opinion on the subject: Who cares
 
iheartBrad - I really think if Fillmoe had wanted to say "Wilcox is young and stupid" he would have. He said "he's a young dude and wasn't thinking of his future and how this would affect it."

How old and smart do you have to be to realize carrying what appears to be an unregistered weapon without a proper permit isn't exactly the best thing to do?
 
just to make it clear i wasnt defending Wilcox in my first post...... what i was saying is hes an idiot and tried to say it in a nice way......
 
Sorry, iheartBrad. Apparently Fillmoe WAS just saying "Wilcox is young and stupid."

;)
