Not again! Rodman released after arrest

ESPN.com - NBA - Not again! Rodman released after arrest
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Dennis Rodman was released Thursday night from jail after being arrested earlier in the day after allegedly being drunk in public.

The former NBA player was arrested Thursday afternoon after police received a call that he was driving his boat in Newport Harbor while under the influence of alcohol.

"When we got there, Mr. Rodman was at the dock next to the (restaurant) attempting to untie the boat. Deputies observed Mr. Rodman fall to the ground," Amormino said. "They interviewed him and determined he was under the influence of alcohol, unable to care for himself or his property."

Outside the jail, Rodman told reporters he fell because he was walking backward. Most likely doing his Michael Jackson' moonwalk routine he was so tanked.

Rodman's agent, Darren Prince, faxed a statement to ESPN that Rodman said "he has not seen his name on TV or in the paper in the past few weeks and thought that people forgot about his NBA comeback. Now I guess they will remember."

NBA Comeback ?? Shiiiit (golly). I love the guy, but fear he won't go into retirement quietly. I sense more and more embarassing Rodman stories are just around the corner.
