(Reuters) - Former pro basketball star Dennis Rodman pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years probation on Monday on charges that he drove the wrong way on a California highway, forcing another car to swerve into a concrete dividing wall.
Rodman was also sentenced to 30 hours of community service, ordered to pay restitution and donate to a victim witness emergency fund, Orange County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Anna Bradley said.
Rodman, a former National Basketball Association forward with the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls, drove his sport utility vehicle the wrong way on Interstate 5 in the carpool lane early on the morning of July 20, prosecutors said.
