Dennis Rodman

Ex-Piston Dennis Rodman, 55, last played in the NBA in 2000. But since then he's managed to grab headlines one way or another.

The five-time NBA champion is charged with four misdemeanors after driving on the wrong side of a freeway, being involved in a hit and run, not having a valid license and lying to police, CNN reports.

Authorities charge that in July in Santa Ana, Calif.,  Rodman allegedly drove head-on toward another vehicle while on the wrong side of the freeway, CNN reports. The other driver swerved to avoid Rodman's SUV and crashed into a concrete wall.

Rodman  failed to exchange information with the victim and fled the scene before the California Highway Patrol arrived.
