DENNIS RODMAN - RODMAN GIVEN PROBATION AND ORDERED TO CLEAN UP GRAFFITI

Former basketball bad boy-turned-actor and reality TV star DENNIS RODMAN has been sentenced to 36 months of probation and 45 days of roadside graffiti removal after pleading no contest to spousal battery.
The former husband of actress/model Carmen Electra was also ordered to undertake a year of domestic violence counselling, and six months of drug and alcohol treatment after appearing in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday morning (24Jun08).
The sentencing stemmed from an incident in April (08) when Rodman was arrested after fighting with his girlfriend following a party.
The judge presiding over the trial told Rodman, "If I hear or see in the news that you have committed any more crimes you will go to jail."
