Former NBA star Rajon Rondo averted a jail sentence Tuesday when he pleaded responsible to a misdemeanor gun possession cost in Jackson County, Indiana.
Courtroom information point out that Rondo, as a part of a plea deal, pleaded responsible to illegal carrying of a handgun. Two separate prices of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia had been dismissed.
Rondo was positioned on probation for 180 days and ordered to pay all prices related to the case.
The four-time All-Star guard and two-time NBA champion was arrested in January after police acquired a name of a black 2022 Tesla touring recklessly on I-65 South between Indianapolis and Louisville.
A state trooper smelled marijuana coming from the automotive and an ensuing search discovered a firearm, drug paraphernalia and suspected marijuana. A juvenile in Rondo’s car on the time was launched to a member of the family.
Rondo introduced his retirement in April after 16 NBA seasons. He performed for 9 groups and had profession averages of 9.8 factors, 7.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals.
