This is not the first time Rondo has been involved in legal matters. In 2022, a woman filed an emergency protective order against him, alleging that he threatened her with a gun. The order was eventually dismissed after the parties reached an agreement. The woman claimed to have feared for the safety of her children due to Rondo's history of volatile behavior.
