Ex-NBA player Sebastian Telfair has a meltdown in court after he's sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison after being found with three loaded handguns and a gas-powered submachine gun in his vehicle during a traffic stop
- Sebastian Telfair, 34, started shouting and crying in a Brooklyn courtroom on Monday after the judge handed down his years-long prison sentence
- He said, 'Please don't take me from society right now,' and told the court he is being convicted of a victimless crime
- Officers pulled over Telfair in the early morning on June 11, 2017 after they said Telfair failed to turn his headlights on
- They arrested Telfair and his passenger after smelling weed in their pickup truck
- The officers searched the vehicle and found three loaded handguns, a submachine gun, extended magazines, ammunition and a ballistic vest
- Telfair said he had a Florida license to carry the guns, but didn't have a license too carry them in New York
- A first-round pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Telfair is the cousin of former All-Star point guard Stephon Marbury
