Former
NBA
Guard

Rajon
Rondo
was
arrested
on
drug
and
gun
charges
in
Indiana
after
being
pulled
over
for
a
traffic
violation.

Two-time

NBA
champion
Rajon
Rondo
has
found
himself
out
of
the
NBA
following
his
time
with
the

Cleveland
Cavaliers
in
2023.
Without
the
grueling
schedule
of
professional
basketball,
he
has
found
himself
in
yet
more
legal
trouble.

According
to

WDRB,
he
was
arrested
on
Sunday,
January
28
after
being
stopped
for
a
traffic
violation.
A
simple
traffic
violation
escalated
when
a
State
Trooper
smelled
marijuana
coming
from
his
vehicle
and
after
a
search,
found
a
gun
and
a
small
amount
of
marijuana
and
paraphernalia.
He
was
charged
with
drug
and
paraphernalia
possession
and
most
surprisingly,
unlawful
possession
of
a
firearm.

The
firearm
charge
is
the
result
of
a
protective
order
after
a
Louisville
woman
claimed

Rondo
threatened
her
life
in
2022.
You
are
not
allowed
to
own
firearms
if
a
protective
order
has
been
brought
against
you.

“I
am
extremely
fearful
for
my
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
my
children,”
the
woman
wrote
in
the
emergency
protective
ordeer.
“Rajon
has
a
history
of
volatile,
erratic,
explosive
behavior
…
I
am
beyond
fearful
that
Rajon
will
return
and
attempt
to
harm
myself
or
the
children
and
make
good
on
his
threats
to
end
my
life.”

WDRB
reports
that
the
ordeal
allegedly
stemmed
from
Rondo
asking
a
child
in
the
home
to
finish
chores
before
becoming
upset
and
breaking
items
in
the
home.
His
alleged
rage
spilled
outside
where
he
reportedly
damaged
trash
cans,
light
fixtures,
and
landscaping
before
allegedly
threatening
the
woman
saying;
“You’re
dead.”

The
unnamed
woman
said
he
left
and
then
returned
and
banged
on
the
window
with
a
gun,
something
that
his
children
reportedly
confirmed
to
authorities.

In
June
2022,
the
Emergency
Protective
order
was
dismissed
before
the
woman
filed
another
in
March
of
2023
and
established
an
agreed
order
in
August
2023.

A
judge
ordered
Rondo
not
to
communicate
and
stay
at
least
500
feet
away
from
the
woman
and
to
surrender
his
firearms.
