-

Former NBA player Dennis Rodman was arrested for driving under the influence in California on Saturday night, according to the Newport Beach Police Department. Lt. Rachel Johnson told USA TODAY on Sunday that Rodman, 56, was stopped near 4500 West Coast Highway because of unspecifie­d vehicle code violations. A subsequent investigat­ion led to his arrest for DUI. Johnson said Rodman was cooperativ­e and agreed to take a breathalyz­er test on the scene, the results of which were not available. Rodman was booked at Newport Beach Jail and released approximat­ely seven hours later. In a statement to USA TODAY, Rodman’s agent, Darren

Prince, said, “It’s no secret Dennis has been struggling on and off with alcoholism the past 17 years. ... We’re going to get him the help he needs now.”
