Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has been charged with hit-and-run for a wrong-way-related crash on a Southern California freeway.
Orange County prosecutors filed misdemeanor charges against Rodman on Monday for a July 20 accident on Interstate 5 in Santa Ana.
Prosecutors say Rodman’s SUV was traveling north in a southbound carpool lane around 12:30 a.m., forcing a sedan to swerve into a dividing wall to avoid a collision.
Rodman’s attorney, Paul Meyer, says the incident occurred on a poorly signed exit ramp. He says Rodman corrected the driving error without the cars touching, stopped and spoke to people in the other car.
Rodman’s also charged with driving across a dividing section and without a valid license, and giving police false information.
He could face two years in county jail if convicted.

Book ’em Danno. Would you or I be treated differently??
His buddy in North Korea can’t help him now.
No field sobriety test?
Book him and throw the key away!
He is a celebrity, so I am sure he won’t have any trial and probably he won’t face the judge.
He will be at home having a beer and bye…bye conviction.
