A police investigation has recommended to prosecutors to file charges against former NBA star, Dennis Rodman, over his involvement in an alleged hit-and-run accident.
Rodman, aka, “The Worm,” has not yet been cited or arrested, but the CHP has recommended the Orange County District Attorney’s office charge him with felony hit-and-run and driving the wrong way on the 5 freeway.

The potential charges stem from a 12:30 a.m. July 20 Santa Ana crash in which a black BMW sedan traveled south in the carpool lane on the 5 freeway. Officials allege Rodman was driving a white luxury SUV north in the southbound carpool lane. The driver of the BMW swerved to avoid a head-on collision and hit the highway’s center divider. According to the CHP, the BMW driver told CHP officers that, after a brief conversation, Rodman got back in his SUV and headed southbound. Rodman did not exchange information with the BMW driver, Olivera said. A passenger in the BMW complained of pain. It was unclear whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the incident. h/t ocregister
