In the Jan. 13 incident, Rodman, 56, was pulled over on a traffic violation at 11 p.m. in Newport Beach, California.

TMZ reported at the time that Rodman has a blood alcohol level of .21. Rodman had already been on probation after pleading guilty to three misdemeanor charges related to a July 2016 wrong-way crash. He pleaded guilty to those charges in February 2017.

After his arrest in January, Rodman’s lawyer, Paul Meyer, said the former NBA player entered a residential treatment program and committed to long-term treatment.

On Monday, Rodman was ordered to complete a nine-month alcohol program and pay $390 in fines, according to court records.
