NBA Guard James Bouknight Appears to Hold Gun in Leaked Photo From DWI Arrest

In a photo of the arrest obtained by TMZ, Bouknight is passed out in his car with Doritos on his lap and a gun in his hand.

Making matters worse for Charlotte Hornets’ guard James Bouknight three days after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, a leaked photo obtained by TMZ Sports allegedly shows the NBA star holding a handgun while passed out in his Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. The photo also shows a bag of Doritos sitting on the 22-year-old’s lap. Bouknight was arrested around 2 a.m. Sunday in a parking deck outside Charlotte, where he was reportedly blocking traffic from entering the garage. He is not facing charges for carrying the weapon, as North Carolina doesn’t require a permit to open carry a weapon. The Hornets are set to begin their regular season on Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. It is unknown whether Bouknight will feature in the team’s season-opener.
