The former Boston Celtics star was driving a Tesla from Bartholomew County to Jackson County when an officer initiated a traffic stop for an “observed traffic violation.” State police said a caller reported a vehicle was being driven “recklessly” prior to the stop. Rondo was not speeding before he was stopped, although dispatchers said he was driving more than 100 mph in his vehicle, according to the station.
The responding officer smelled an odor of marijuana emanating from his vehicle, which led to the search, the station reported. Police said Rondo was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to an existing protective order dating back to August 2023, according to WDRB-TV.

A separate protective order sought in May 2022 was dismissed more than a month later after both “parties reached an agreement,” ESPN reported at the time.
Rondo was a first-round pick of the Celtics in the 2006 draft. He played for Boston for more than eight seasons before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks. He later spent time with the Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers.
