Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West has been charged on more weapons and traffic violations from an incident in September.

West was arrested on September 17 for speeding on a motorcycle and carrying multiple loaded weapons.

The guard was caught with two loaded handguns and a loaded shotgun in his possession. Prosecutors have now added a hunting knife to the list.

West's long list of charges include carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, and one count each of reckless driving and negligent driving.

Each of the weapons charges carries a penalty of up to three years in jail.

"It is our understanding that today's developments are part of the legal process that continues to take place with Delonte and he and his legal council will handle that," Cavs GM Danny Ferry said.

"We will continue to take this matter very seriously and monitor and respect the legal process as it proceeds, but not speculate or comment about it."
