Is Dennis Rodman In Prison? Details On Michael Jordan’s Former Teammate And His Status With The Law

Dennis Rodman has had more than just a few run-ins with the law over the past 4 or so decades. Whether it be for parties or due to his divorces, Dennis has become quite familiar with the inside of what a court looks like. With just how many times Michael Jordan’s ex-teammate has had the police called on him, it has brought into question whether or not he is currently tied up with the law as well.

The 5x NBA champion once very proudly claimed that he had the police called on him over 100 times when he was at his home due to just how raucous his parties would get. The first time he had ever gotten in trouble with the cops was when he was still a janitor at the Dallas airport.

He had stolen watches from a co-worker who was the real culprit and had stolen watches himself. Rodman would then distribute the watches amongst his friends but would eventually get caught by the police and spend a night in jail.

Is Dennis Rodman currently in prison?

No, Dennis Rodman is not in prison. He’s stayed fairly lowkey over the past few years in fact with only two things coming up during headlines regarding him.

The first was during last year’s NBA 75th anniversary where he was behaving quite questionably. Many felt as though him taking off his blazer and placing it on the ground was a sign of disrespect.

The other was him trying to go to Russia last year after Brittany Griner was detained and jailed in the country after she was caught having cannabis in her possession. He felt as though he could do in Russia what he did with North Korea but his request to go to Russia was blocked by the United States government.

There is currently no reason for why Dennis Rodman would be in prison. He does not need to appear in court for anything related to his previous divorces, he doesn’t seem to indulge in all too many parties, and has not committed any crimes either.

Dennis Rodman once slapped a man and avoided jail

Dennis Rodman rarely ever controlled the way he felt when he was out in public. He lived life the way he deemed fit and dealt with the consequences later. This is exactly what happened when he decided to slap a man at a party.

Rodman initially denied the slap ever took place and witnesses around the scene even stated that Rodman was fairly far away from the man. He would however, give up $350 and avoid spending a night in jail because of the incident.
