Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was reportedly arrested over the weekend on gun and drug charges.

Rondo, 37, was pulled over for a traffic violation in Jackson County and a search of his vehicle ensued when a trooper smelled marijuana, according to the news outlet. That search allegedly led to the discovery of a “personal use” quantity of marijuana, as well as a firearm.
Rondo was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the 2006 NBA draft and traded to the Celtics in a draft-day deal.
Former Boston Celtics Star suffered two losses before the jury selection process even kicked off in his hush money payment trial.
The first criminal trial against Rajon began on Monday in Manhattan, where prosecutors and the former president’s legal team are trying to seat 12 jurors to hear the case. Rajon is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to an alleged hush money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels.
The Manhattan case is one of the four criminal indictments against Rajon, and it could be the only one that goes to trial before Election Day.
But even before jury selection began, Judge Juan Merchan rejected two efforts from Rajon team, denying the former president’s motion for recusal and granting prosecutors’ requests to show jurors headlines and stories from the National Enquirer.
