I couldn't care less about the MJ and the paraphernalia.  Pay a fine and more on.

But if there's an active protection order and he's still carrying, I hope he gets jail still.  He won't, but he should.

Why wouldn’t this be considered a DUI case? 

And is there a law against carrying while under the influence?

It's probably not DUI because they can't prove intoxication / impairment.  With alcohol, it's easy:  do a breathalyzer.  Drugs are harder, because they stay in your system long after impairment is over.  In Maine, prosecutors can "prove" a drug OUI through showing any level of a substance in somebody, along with tying that to an illegal traffic move, etc.  I'm not sure what the Indiana test is.  If he was pulled over for erratic driving, who knows, they could add charges.

A lot of states don't have a "carrying under the influence" charge, but even if Indiana does, they need to show Rondo was actually impaired.

I’m going to say this from a serious nice caring way .  He seems to need some medical help for his mental well being .

Btw Rondo, Telfair, & Delonte, the 2000s Celtics backcourt had quite the arsenal.

Perhaps inappropriate, but I laughed anyway.

Truly one of the internet's proto-stans. I don't think anyone has advocated as strongly for any singular player in my memory of reading the forums.
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on--whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man--for precisely the same reason.

Geez Rondo.   What are you thinking?   You are supposed to be smarter than this.   An embarrassment to himself and to the Celtics.  Horrible.

I agree with Roy about the gun stuff but crazy people are getting arrested for marijuana in 2024 unless they are like hot boxing their car driving.

Shouldn’t pretend to actually know Rondo, but the two non-basketball things consistently said about him in my memory were, 1) he’s really smart and 2) he lacks impulse control.  Smart people do stupid things (not smart people do too). He’s got some volatility in his history - hope he addresses that or it could get worse than this.
