Late Saturday, Hall of Famer and former Chicago Bulls champion Dennis Rodman got arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Darren Prince, Rodman's agent, has said to The Associated Press that the former NBA star has already checked himself into the Turning Point Rehabilitation Center in Paterson, New Jersey. Rodman has done so in order to finally deal with his long-time enemy off the court — alcoholism.

Rodman's arrest occurred in southern California at about 11 p.m. He was pulled over by the Newport Beach police because of a traffic violation he had committed. The authorities conducted sobriety and breath tests on Rodman, which he all failed.

This was the second time that Rodman had to deal with a serious traffic offense in the last three years. Back in July 2016, he was found guilty driving the wrong way, providing false information to a police officer and driving with a valid license.

There was also an argument that Rodman may have been under the influence of alcohol during that incident.

This is also the second time Rodman will be in rehab. Back in 2014, he spent three weeks in Turning Point as well. This was after returning from North Korea for an exhibition game with other retired NBA players. The game was for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

We can't say for sure where this rehabilitation process will go for Rodman. But it's good to know that he is acknowledging his alcohol problem and that he's trying to do something about it.
