Rajon Rondo was arrested over the weekend on drug and gun possession charges in Indiana after state police pulled over the former NBA star. In the reports, police say they found evidence of marijuana use, drug paraphernalia, and a firearm inside Rondo’s vehicle.
Kentucky outlet WDRB reports that Rajon Rondo, 37, was arrested this past Sunday in Jackson County while traveling southbound on a major interstate. Drivers reported that Rondo’s 2022 Tesla was driving erratically, prompting the police to pull the vehicle over.
The state trooper conducting the stop smelled marijuana and began a search, leading to a small amount of the drug, paraphernalia, and the handgun. Rondo is not allowed to possess a firearm due to a no-contact order taken out against him. He was taken to the Jackson County Jail and posted a $700 bond.
Rajon Rondo will have a court hearing on Feb. 27 and all of the charges he faces are considered misdemeanors. Rondo, who was a standout player at the University of Kentucky, has yet to offer a comment regarding the arrest.

Indiana is home to a passionate base of basketball fans as evidenced in a new video that showed a man coming from the stands to attack a referee on the court. The situation took place at a youth basketball game and the man who attacked the ref got taken down MMA style before it was broken up.
Twitter user Jeff Lytle shared a video via Twitter this past Saturday (May 20) from a youth basketball game at SportONE Parkview Fieldhouse in Indiana, according to a report from local outlet WANE which has more.
From WANE:
A witness told WANE 15 that the parent in the video was complaining about foul calls. After speaking to the referee, he was then asked to leave the game.
As the official attempted to get help in removing the parent, the man got in his face and grabbed the referee, according to the witness.
The witness then said the man was ultimately escorted out of the game and did not return. The witness claimed they showed officers the video of the incident.
The outlet adds that the eight-grade teams were playing in the Gym Rats Basketball tournament in Fort Wayne.
Thankfully, things were broken up at the scene as police officers were never called to the venue to intervene.
As we said, basketball is life in Indiana. Word to Larry Bird.
