Dennis Rodman Was ‘Swerving All Over The Road’ Before DUI Arrest

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.  (RELATED: Dennis Rodman’s Awesome Christmas Sweater Involves Trump And Kim Jong Un)

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.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
