WASHINGTON � Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West was indicted Tuesday on additional weapons and traffic charges stemming from his Sept. 17 arrest for speeding on a motorcycle and carrying multiple weapons.

The eight-count indictment sheds no new light on why West, 26, was riding a motorcycle on the Capital Beltway in Prince George�s County, Md., at 10 p.m. with two loaded handguns and a loaded shotgun. Prosecutors on Wednesday added an 8 1/2-inch Bowie knife to the list of concealed weapons West was carrying.
It�s illegal in Maryland to carry concealed weapons and to transport loaded handguns.
West was indicted on two counts of 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. The charges are all misdemeanors. Each of the weapons counts carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.
West was initially charged with just two counts of carrying a handgun and with driving in excess of reasonable and prudent speed.
Court records don�t list a lawyer for West. His agent, Noah Croom, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
West has been treated in the past for bipolar disorder, and last week his wife filed a domestic violence report against him in Ohio. No charges have been filed in that incident.
West, who could still face a league suspension over the charges in Maryland, made his season debut during Saturday night�s 90-79 win against Charlotte, scoring 13 points in 24 minutes.
After the arrest, West reported to training camp on time but missed the team�s first four practices without an excuse. He returned, but then left the team for a week to deal with personal matters. He missed all eight preseason games and Cleveland�s first three regular-season games.
West, who lives in Brandywine, Md., was riding a Can-Am Spyder motorcycle when he cut off a police officer on the beltway in Upper Marlboro, authorities said. The officer pulled him over, and the weapons were discovered.
Prince George�s County State�s Attorney Glenn Ivey said West will likely be arraigned by the end of the week, and the case could go to trial early next year.
