Police arrested Rajon Rondo in Indiana on marijuana and gun charges over the weekend.
The former NBA All-Star was arrested Sunday in Jackson County after a traffic stop.
Troopers searched his car and found a handgun and marijuana. Rondo can’t have a handgun because of a no-contact order.
Troopers initiated a search after they smelled marijuana inside the car. A search warrant is not needed if officers smell weed.
Drugs and Gun Charges
