Former NBA player Javaris Crittenton was sentenced to 23 years in prison and 17 years of probation Wednesday following a guilty plea on charges concerning the 2011 shooting that killed a woman from Atlanta, Yahoo Sports reports.

His uneventful two-year NBA career is infamously known for his 2009 confrontation with then teammate Gilbert Arenas, which involved firearms inside the Washington Wizards' locker room. The guard, who also played with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies, pleaded guilty to charges of voluntary manslaughter with a weapon and aggravated assault with a firearm. As stated by the report, prosecutors dropped the murder charge against Crittenton as part of the plea agreement.

As noted by a Reuters report, the former NBA player was accused, along with his cousin, Douglas Gamble, of gunning down 22-year-old Julian Jones, a mother of four in a drive-by shooting back in August of 2011. Prosecutors believe that the shooting was gang-related, and was an act of retaliation against a person Crittenton believed robbed him. According to Atlanta's WSB-TV, Crittenton made a tearful apology in his Wednesday court appearance, and called the shooting of Jones a "horrible accident."

As written down by Steve Hummer of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Crittenton and a friend was walking out of a barber shop on the evening of April 21 when they were ambushed by two young men, and at gunpoint, took them to the accused's car and was ordered to hand over everything in their possession. Crittenton went to the police reporting the loss of a black diamond watch worth $30,000, a black diamond necklace worth $25,000, an iPhone and some cash.

As noted by the Yahoo Sports report, while waiting trial back in January 2014, Crittenton was also indicted in a federal drug investigation, which accused him of "selling multi-kilo quantities of cocaine and several hundred pounds of marijuana."
