NBA champion Rajon Rondo got into some trouble in Indiana over the weekend. Let’s break down what happened in simple terms.
What Happened: Rajon Rondo, a former NBA champion, got arrested on a Sunday in Indiana. The charges against him are for having a gun, some drug paraphernalia (things related to using drugs), and a small amount of marijuana (a type of drug).

What They Found: During a search, the police discovered that Rondo had a gun, a bit of marijuana for personal use, and some items related to using drugs. This led to his arrest.
Legal Trouble: Rondo is facing misdemeanors, which are less serious than felonies. However, there’s an extra problem for him. He’s not supposed to have a gun because of a court order that says he can’t have contact with someone. So, having a gun goes against this rule.
Where He Ended Up: After the arrest, Rondo was taken to the Jackson County jail.
In simple terms, Rondo got into trouble because he had a gun when he wasn’t supposed to, along with some marijuana and drug-related items. It’s not a major crime, but it’s still a problem for him legally.
