JACKSON COUNTY, Indiana (WLKY) — Former UK basketball star Rajon Rondo is expected to plead guilty after being arrested in southern Indiana in January.
Rondo was arrested after being pulled over in Jackson County for a traffic stop.
Indiana State Police said they could smell marijuana coming from the car, which led them to conduct a search. A trooper then found marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a firearm in side Rondo’s car.
Rondo had a protection order in place against him at the time he was pulled over, which meant he was not supposed to have a firearm.
He was charged with possession of a firearm while being prohibited, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Rondo’s trial date was set for August, but that was canceled and now a change of plea hearing is scheduled for Sept. 3.
