Former NBA All-Star Dennis Rodman is scheduled to appear in court early next year following a hit-and-run incident he was involved in back in July, per James Queally of The News & Observer.

Four misdemeanor charges were filed against him, which includes causing a hit-and-run accident with property damage, driving across a highway divider, giving false information to police, and driving without a valid license.

The said incident occurred as the seven-time rebounding champion was driving his Range Rover the wrong way along the carpool lane on the 5 freeway in Santa Ana, California back in July, according to prosecutors. He even nearly crashed into another car causing it to hit a concrete barrier. Fortunately, the driver was not seriously hurt but the California Highway Patrol officers who were at the scene proceeded with filing charges against the former NBA player.

Rodman was famously called “The Worm” for his relentless hustle on the court and ability to get under his opponent's skin, played 14 seasons in the league and winning five championships (two with the Detroit Pistons and three more with the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls from 1996-1998).

If proven guilty on all charges, Rodman can face up to two years in prison with a hefty amount to cover for all damages.

No official statement has been made yet by Rodman or the group that represents him.
