Former Temple University basketball star Dionte Christmas is facing charges after he was found with a handgun during a traffic stop Thursday evening.

Officers stopped Christmas for driving erratically in North Philadelphia at about 7:30 p.m. Officials said he was operating a vehicle without a license and he had a 9mm semi-automatic handgun under the driver's seat.

The vehicle and the handgun reportedly were legally registered to Philadelphia 76ers' Marresse Speights.

Christmas is facing felony firearms offenses. The incident remains under investigation.
