Dennis Rodman was reportedly “swerving all over the road” before he was pulled over by police late Saturday night for allegedly driving under the influence, according to TMZ Tuesday.
The outlet obtained a copy of the police report from January 13 that alleged the 56-year-old former NBA all-star was driving crazy on West Coast highway in Newport Beach and blaring his music before he was pulled over by police officers around 10:50 p.m. and given a field sobriety test.

Authorities said Rodman failed the field test and agreed to a breathalyzer exam, in which he allegedly blew a blood-alcohol level greater than the legal limit of .08. He was then taken into custody and booked into the city jail where he spent the night behind bars for the alleged DUI. The NBA player was released early Sunday morning.
As previously reported, the NBA star was still on probation during the arrest, which could result in him being sent to jail as a result. The probation time stems from a wrong way crash in July 2016 in which he reportedly was driving the wrong way on an Orange County freeway in southern California, hit another car and then fled the scene.
The retired basketball player entered a plea deal to keep from going to prison for up to two years and was placed on a three-year probation with the understanding that he must stay out of trouble.
That probation will likely be revoked now following the DUI arrest. He could be sentenced to two years behind bars for the 2016 crash, plus any additional time added for the weekend arrest.
