The former player of the NBA, Rajon Rondo, is not going through its best moment. Despite being retired, the 37-year-old former point guard is in the spotlight for being involved in a new conflict. Over the weekend he was arrested for misdemeanors: illegal possession by one arma and equipment for drug consumption, including, marihuana.
Rondo was arrested on Sunday in Jackson County, Indiana, United States, after authorities stopped him for a traffic violation.

The woman also claimed that Rondo has a history of domestic violence, although she did not provide specific details about previous incidents. The complaint was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court and a temporary restraining order was filed prohibits approaching the woman and her children. The order also prevents him from possessing firearms and It is precisely the reason why he ends up being arrested.
Finally, the complaint has not escalated and Rondo has not suffered the consequences. But this is not the first incident in which he has been accused of violence. In 2008, when he was playing for the Boston Celtics, he was arrested and charged of attack his girlfriend in a Boston hotel. However, the charges were dropped after the woman refused to testify against her.
