Despite a ?Capital Crime?, Dennis Rodman Didn?t Spend a Night in Jail With Carmen Electra Only Due to a 54 Year Old Lawyer: ?I Went to the Police Station and It Took Some Talking..?

NBA legend Dennis Rodman was one of the most peculiar personalities in sports. He was an enigma who did things the way he wanted and did not care about what anyone else thought. Because of his displays on and off the court, he had a lot of fans around the world. Interestingly, he also had a few high-profile relationships during his prime. He was married to actress Carmen Electra for a brief period as well. The couple married in November 1998 but Rodman filed for annulment just 9 days later.

However, the couple reconciled. But things were far from smooth between the couple. The superstar actress then filed for divorce in 1999. And in the same year, the couple was arrested for fighting. In November 1999, Rodman and Electra stayed in their favorite penthouse suite in a hotel in Miami, Florida. The couple started arguing and someone informed the police.
