Rajon Rondo Arrested Arrested For Gun And Drugs

Rajon Rondo was arrested Sunday for unlawful possession of a firearm, drug paraphernalia and marijuana. All of the charges are misdemeanors.

The two-time NBA champion was reportedly pulled over for a traffic violation in Jackson County, Ind., about halfway between Indianapolis and Louisville, Ky. The officer then allegedly smelled marijuana and later found a gun.

According to the report, Rondo is not allowed to possess a firearm after emergency protective orders were taken against him for an incident in 2022.

During that incident, he reportedly pulled a gun on his family during an argument at their Louisville home. The mother of Rondo's children, Ashley Bachelor, was granted an emergency protective order against him afterward.

One month later, a judge dismissed the order.

Rondo spent 16 seasons in the league and most recently played 21 games with the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2021-22 season. He got his start with the Boston Celtics in 2006, and he won a championship there in his second season. Rondo then played for eight other teams, and he won his second title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.

He was a four-time NBA All-Star, a four-time NBA All-Defensive Team honoree and was part of the All-NBA third-team in 2012.

Rondo immediately posted bond after his Sunday arrest and was released. His initial court hearing will take place Feb. 27 in Jackson County Superior Court.
