According to the TV station's report, "Former University of Kentucky basketball and NBA star Rajon Rondo was arrested Sunday in Indiana for unlawful possession of a firearm, drug paraphernalia, and marijuana, according to court records and a spokesman for Indiana State Police."
The report added, "Rondo was stopped for a traffic violation in Jackson County, Indiana, Sunday afternoon and a trooper smelled marijuana, leading to a search that found a gun, a 'personal use' amount of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, ISP spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wheeles said Monday night.
"Rondo, 37, was not supposed to have a firearm because he had a no-contact order taken out against him in court. The charges are all misdemeanors."
In his 16-year-long NBA career, Rondo played for the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, LA Clippers, and Cleveland Cavaliers.
