Dennis Rodman returned to the spotlight and the legal system yesterday with his arrest in Los Angeles for alleged domestic violence.
According to the Associated Press, the former NBA star was taken into custody Wednesday night after officers answered a report of a domestic dispute at a Century City hotel.
Officer Sara Fayden says the 46-year-old struck a woman who suffered “injuries to her arm.”
Rodman’s manager Darren Prince told TMZ.com that the one-time Detroit Piston and the woman in question, his girlfriend, had too much to drink, argued, and Rodman grabbed her arm and left a bruise. Prince said Rodman’s nasty divorce has caused his drinking to worsen in recent weeks and he plans to enter rehab.
Rodman was thrown in jail for investigation of felony domestic violence and freed early Thursday on $50,000 bail.
