Dennis Rodman Temporarily Detained In Germany

BERLIN — Former basketball star Dennis Rodman was temporarily detained in Germany for allegedly skipping out on a euro3,400 ($5,100) hotel bill for a post-game party, a prosecution official said Monday.

Senior prosecutor Juergen Bauer said Monday that Rodman had played in a "USA Legends of Basketball" exhibition game in the western town of Trier and threw a party afterward at his hotel.

The prosecutor said the organizers of the game had agreed to pick up the tab for Rodman's overnight stay at the hotel, but not an additional euro3,400 for beverages consumed at the party.

When Rodman left the hotel Monday morning without paying the tab, the hotel director contacted the police, Bauer said. Police found Rodman's stretch limo on the highway and detained the star.

Rodman then paid the outstanding bill along with an additional euro1,700 to dismiss possible legal proceedings, the prosecutor said.

Dennis Who?

[RusStyles]

This is NOT news; this is propaganda.

[totaldisbelief]

Hasn't Dennis got "people" that "handle" the details for him?

[dongarb]

A shining example of behavior for all the overpaid celebs.

And the republicans too!

Let Germany have him.

What a loser. I'm glad the whole world knows. Famous people do this quite often actually. They expect for someone else to pay their tabs for the honor of blessing you with their presence. Being in New York most my life, I have seen this dis.gusting behavior often. He should of spent the night in jail and waited for a hearing like everybody else. Money doesn't buy class.

This is what happens when you slip from the top. Lindsay Lohan had to pay her bar bill too. I think that Lady Day sang about it in "Nobody knows you when you're down & out...". Lady knew how to sing the blues, yes I plagarized that too. If you can't give your source credit, it is plagarism.
