On 30th April Dennis Rodman was arrested for domestic violence, which his manager brushed off, saying it was just some bruises, and it was brought on by drinking to relieve stress from a bad divorce and not seeing his kids for two months.

He said that Rodman would be entering a rehab facility on his return to Florida, and he has.

Dennis Rodman has checked into a rehab facility in Florida, his manager has confirmed. The news follows Rodman’s arrest on Thursday on suspicion of felony domestic battery.

Cops believe he attacked his girlfriend during a drunken fight at a Los Angeles hotel the day before. He was released on $50,000 bail before heading to Miami, where he was spotted with friends over the weekend.

On Monday morning he entered an outpatient rehab center in Fort Lauderdale, his representative Darren Prince has confirmed to TMZ.com.

I’m glad he’s getting himself into a rehab and sorted out – before he inflicts more than bruises on his girlfriend. Hopefully this trip to rehab is for real and not just to lesson his sentence, which is seems to be for a lot of criminals. I know that any kind of addictive behavior is hard to shake, think of caffeine, cigarettes, and watching reality television for those of you not into more illicit substances. It often takes more than just one trip to rehab to change your ways, but sometimes it seems that criminals – not just celebrity offenders – use it as a way to get lesser prison sentences before going back to their previous behavior.

No time frame for Dennis’ stay in rehab was given.
