NYC grand jury indicts Burress on weapons charges
Quote:Former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress(notes) was indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges after shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club last winter, prosecutors announced Monday.
The indictment charged the 31-year-old Burress with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.
Burressââ¬â¢ former teammate, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce(notes), was not indicted for his role in the incident.
The 31-year-old wide receiver faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty to weapons charges earlier this year and is free on $100,000 bail.
