I hate the prick, but this really does smell like a rolling shakedown
Arrest warrant issued for Dennis Rodman on speeding, reckless driving charges
BRECKENRIDGE - A judge signed an arrest warrant Wednesday for former NBA star Dennis Rodman after he missed a Colorado court appearance on two traffic violations.
District Court Administrator Christine Yuhas said Rodman could be arrested if he returns to Colorado.
"It was a misunderstanding," Rodman's agent, Darren Prince, told The Associated Press.
Rodman was charged with speeding and reckless driving after he was stopped July 26 in a $250,000 Lamborghini on a highway near the mountain town of Frisco, about 70 miles west of Denver. Officers say they clocked him going 98 mph.
At the time, Rodman was participating in the 3,000-mile Bullrun USA 2005 charity auto rally.
Rodman's sponsor for the event, GoldenPalace.com, had agreed to pay Rodman's tickets and legal bills to resolve the matter.
Prince said a $400 check for going 69 mph in a 45-mph zone in Montrose County on July 25 was mailed Monday, but GoldenPalace.com was still resolving the Summit County tickets Wednesday. Prince did not know the amount of those fines.
A prosecutor did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
During the auto rally, Rodman also was involved in a minor accident and was accused of leaving a Glenwood Springs truck stop without paying $40 for gasoline and a cap. A fan paid the former Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons star's bill, and authorities did not pursue charges.
"The guy was doing all this for charity, and all this happens," Prince said. "He'll do it next year. He'll either drive a little bit slower or not listen to any gas station attendants that say he can have a hat for free and sign some autographs."
