Rajon Rondo — a two-time NBA champion — was arrested on Sunday and booked on gun and weed charges, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
According to Jackson County Jail records in Indiana, the ex-Boston Celtics star was thrown behind bars at around 4 PM. A rep for the facility tells us he was booked on three separate charges — possession of paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, and unlawful possession of a firearm — before he was released on $705 bond.
A spokesperson for the Indiana State Police told WDRB on Monday it all stemmed from a routine traffic stop.
ISP Sgt. Stephen Wheeles said after Rondo was pulled over, a trooper smelled marijuana emanating from the former basketball player … and during an ensuing search of his car, a small amount of weed, drug paraphernalia, and a gun were all discovered.

Rajon Rondo Domestic Violence Case Dismissed
Due to a previous case against Rondo, he was not supposed to have the firearm.
All three charges against the four-time All-Star are misdemeanors.
This is, of course, not the first time Rondo has been accused of wrongdoing … in May 2022, a woman filed an emergency protection order against him after she claimed he snapped at her for interrupting a video game session he was having with his son.
She accused Rondo of smashing things around the house, before pulling out a gun. The case, however, was dismissed weeks later.

Rondo was also sued in 2020 … after a woman claimed she was injured during an altercation with the former point guard and his girlfriend outside an apartment complex. That case was settled in 2022.
Rondo played 16 seasons in the NBA, last suiting up for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2021-22 season.
