Barnes given one year jail term for gun possession
Marvin Barnes, former ABA Rookie of the Year, was ordered to serve one year in prison after an unloaded handgun was found in his luggage at Detroit airport. Superior Court Judge Anthony A. Giannini concluded Barnes violated his parole from a 1974 assault case, stating the weapon was owned by Barnes and carried by him, though his defense blamed another. Barnes expressed resignation, noting he might seek remedies and may be eligible for parole after four months.
