LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dennis Rodman was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after he crashed a motorcycle while doing stunts outside a strip club, police said.

The former NBA star, who was treated Sunday for cuts on his legs, was not jailed on the misdemeanor charge. He was issued a summons to appear in court for an arraignment in three to five weeks, police said.

"He borrowed an employee's motorcycle and was attempting to pop wheelies when he hit a pole," police spokesman Jose Montoya said Monday.

Last month, the 42-year-old former rebounding champion was charged with being drunk in public in Newport Beach, Calif., where police say they have answered scores of complaints about noise at his home.

Rodman is a regular visitor to Las Vegas, where he reached a settlement this year with the last of four women who accused him of fondling them at a hotel-casino in 1998.

He last played in the NBA in 2000 with the Dallas Mavericks.

When it comes to public sports, most of the players, regardless of what sport they represent, becomes an example for most kids. I can think of two off the top of my head that have never shown any behavior indicative of a roll model - Dennis Rodman and Mike Tyson.

I know that I am in the minority here, but I must say this. Dennis Rodman is the product of a broken home. His dad drove off one day, never to return, with Dennis, a little boy, running behind the car crying for him not to leave. I know that many of the people in the world had hard childhoods, but some people still have that hurt child inside and therefore act out as adults. I pity him and always have. On the plus side, he was one great rebounder in his day!

Rodmans acting out does not surprise me at all. NOr do I endorse it. However, I do feel pity for him in the fact that he has never worked out his feelings tha cause him to be that way. A man with as much money as he has can afford the best therapists there are.
