Three men, including a professional basketball player, face weapons charges after a uniformed Secret Service officer reported seeing them them randomly shooting into the air early Sunday.
Authorities identified the men as Rodney Charles White, 24, of Denver, Anthony O. Butler, Jr., 21, of Detroit and Kyle A. Doman, 25, of Bowie, Md.
A spokesman with the Denver Nuggets said Sunday that White has played for the team the past two seasons. He is now a free agent, unsigned with any team, the spokesman said.
Prior to joining the Nuggets, White played one season for the Detroit Pistons.
Police pulled over a sports utility vehicle carrying the three and found an unspecified number of guns and a knife inside, Secret Service spokesman Tom Mazur said.
Each was charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm -- a felony. All were being held pending an initial court appearance Monday.
