Report: Former Celtics guard Rajon Rondo arrested in Indiana

Former Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was arrested over the weekend in Indiana, according to WDRB. The report stated the 37-year-old was charged with drugs and weapons charges following a traffic stop in Jackson County.

Indiana State Police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wheeles stated Rondo was initially flagged for a traffic violation Sunday afternoon. A state trooper reported smelling marijuana, and a subsequent search of the car found a gun, a personal use amount of marijuana, and associated paraphernalia. Rondo was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana, all misdemeanors.

Rondo posted bond immediately, and a date has not been set for him to appear in court.

Rondo was once legally prohibited from owning firearms following a 2022 incident where he allegedly threatened a woman with a gun in her home. An undisclosed agreement saw this emergency protective order dismissed.

The former All-Star spent his first 8 seasons as a pro with the Celtics after Boston traded for him during the 2006 NBA draft. He went on to win a ring in 2008 with the Celtics, as well as earning a second title in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
