NBA Latest News: Former NBA Star Dennis Rodman Charged With Hit And Run

NBA hall of famer Dennis Rodman was accused of driving in the wrong lane towards a sedan, forcing the driver to swerve and crash into a wall to avoid a head-on collision with Rodman's car. The victim was in pain after the accident and called 911.

He will be arraigned on Jan. 20, 2017 and if found guilty, Rodman could face up to two years in jail.
