Struggling New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton allegedly pointed a powerful, body armor-piercing handgun at his estranged wife during a domestic dispute and was arrested Tuesday morning on weapons possession charges, sources said.
Ariane Raymondo-Felton – who recently filed for divorce - brought the Belgian-made pistol, an FNH 5.7 x 28mm handgun, to the 20th Precinct on the Upper West Side, and the starting point guard later turned himself in for questioning, sources said.
“The wife is saying they had four verbal altercations since July last year. On the last one, he pointed a gun at her, loaded. It’s a bad ass gun,” a law enforcement source told The Post.
After appearing in court on Tuesday, Felton was formally charged with one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and one count of criminal possession of a firearmwas. He was issued a six-month order of protection from his wife and bail was set at $25,000.
