Rodman settles casethat led to arrest warrant
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. -- Dennis Rodman has settled a speeding ticket that briefly led to a judge issuing an arrest warrant, said a lawyer and his agent.
Rodman, who faced a speeding and reckless driving charge, agreed to plead guilty to speeding, pay $516.50 in fines and make a $200 donation to the Summit County 4-H Club, according to The Denver Post. Denver lawyer Gary Pirosko and Rodman's agent, Darren Prince, confirmed the settlement.
"That's it, they had settled it absolutely," Prince said by telephone from New York on Monday.
Rodman was charged with speeding and reckless driving after he was stopped July 26 in a $250,000 Lamborghini on a highway near the mountain town of Frisco, about 70 miles west of Denver. Officers allegedly clocked him going 98 mph.
Summit County Judge Russell Granger issued an arrest warrant after Rodman failed to appear at a Sept. 14 hearing.
Rodman had been in town to race in the Bullrun USA 2005 charity auto rally. During the rally, Rodman also was involved in a minor accident and was accused of leaving a Glenwood Springs truck stop without paying $40 for gasoline and a cap. A fan paid the former Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons star's bill, and authorities did not pursue charges.
Baldwin, Basinger tradepersonal jabs in court
LOS ANGELES -- Alec Baldwin and ex-wife Kim Basinger traded personal jabs through their lawyers, with each claiming amid a custody dispute that the other has serious emotional problems.
In court papers, Baldwin claimed Basinger "has a pathological need" to turn their daughter against him, and he is asking for a psychological evaluation of the actress.
Baldwin lawyer Vicki Greene argued in a court hearing Monday that Basinger had tainted 10-year-old Ireland's view of her father.
Basinger's lawyer, Neal Hersh, dismissed the claim and said Baldwin was the problem.
"We believe that Mr. Baldwin has severe emotional problems," Hersh said. "Mr. Baldwin's lawyers attempted to cast terrible aspersions toward Kim rather than focusing on the main issue, which is his daughter."
Baldwin wasn't at the hearing, which discussed his telephone time with his daughter and whether Baldwin should get an extra weekend with her when a holiday is interrupted by a court-ordered custody hearing.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Maren Nelson said she found no reason to alter the custody agreement. She didn't rule on the psychological evaluation request.
The acting duo married Aug. 19, 1993. They separated in 2000 and divorced in 2002.
