Dennis Rodman has been charged with battery after allegedly slapping a man in a bar.
The 58-year-old retired basketball player was celebrating his birthday in the bar in Delray Beach, Florida, in May 2019 when he is alleged to have smacked the other man twice in the face.
The victim – whose name has been redacted in the police report – claims he woke up the next morning with swelling on his face, NBC news reports.
However, the police report was filed two days after the alleged incident and the police officer who took the case reported that no injuries were visible.
Rodman was later charged with a single count of misdemeanour battery but his attorney entered a not guilty plea at a hearing about the case on Thursday (17.10.19).
If convicted, the former sports star could face up to a year in jail, 12 months of probation and a $1,000 fine.
Meanwhile, Dennis recently claimed that his former girlfriend Madonna once offered him $20 million to get her pregnant.
The controversial star dated the ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker in the early 1990s and he alleged she was so desperate to be a mother, she offered him a huge payment in return for fathering a child.
He said: "She said if I got her pregnant she’d pay me $20 million. That’s if the baby was born."
The star even recalled a night he put a gambling session in Las Vegas on hold to fly back to New York after Madonna – who is now mother to Lourdes, 22, Rocco, 18, David, 13, Mercy, also 13, and six-year-old twins Estere and Stelle – called to say she was "ovulating".
Speaking on ‘The Breakfast Club’, he said: "I was holding the dice in Vegas and she was in New York… she called so I said, ‘Hold the dice.
"She said, ‘Dennis I’m ovulating?’ ‘What’ – I was trying to f**k with her – I said I’ d be there in five hours. So I told them to hold the table – if you’ve got money, they do that.
"She sent a plane for me, I went there, did my thing, went back on the plane, they held the table for me, started playing dice again."
