Former Celtics All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo was arrested Sunday on multiple gun and drug charges according to a report from TV station WDRB.
The arrest occurred in Indiana after a traffic stop and the charges include unlawful possession of a firearm, drug paraphernalia and marijuana according to a spokesman for Indiana State Police.
Rondo was pulled over for a speeding violation according to the report and then had his car searched after the police officer smelled marijuana during the top. That led to the discovery of a gun, a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. All of the charges are misdemeanors. The 37-year-old posted bond at Jackson County Jail and was released.

Rondo played eight-plus seasons with the Celtics before the team traded him away to the Mavericks during the 2014-15 season in exchange for Jae Crowder, Brandan Wright, Jameer Nelson and draft picks. The point guard won two titles in his pro career including one with Boston back in 2008. He last played with the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2021-22 season. Rondo spent time with the current Celtics during training camp back in October 2023 as coach Joe Mazzulla invited former players to observe the team and reconnect during training camp.
Rondo had multiple run-ins with the law according to WDRB in recent years, including having an emergency protective order against him by a judge in 2022 and again in 2023 by the same woman. Rondo underwent anger management class, counseling and a mental health evaluation before the first order was dismissed in 2022. The 2023 case ended in an agreed order.
