Two years ago, the mother of Rajon Rondo had obtained a protection order against the former Celtics and Lakers point guard, accusing him of threatening her with a gun.
Ultimately, the two camps reached an agreement, which saved the basketball player from having to go before a judge.
This time, the double NBA champion (2008 and 2020) will not cut it, because he was arrested last weekend in Indiana. While he was driving, Rajon Rondo was stopped by the Jackson County police, a little north of Louisville, following a traffic violation. The police officer quickly smelled marijuana in the vehicle, and began a search of the car, finding a firearm, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Arrested, Rajon Rondo was released in exchange for bail, while being charged with illegal possession of a firearm, drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, minor offenses.
Having been the subject of a protection order, the 37-year-old basketball player is not allowed to possess a weapon.
