Dennis Rodman was charged Monday in connection with a hit-and-run crash.

The former Chicago Bulls star caused a collision after driving the wrong way on a California freeway on July 20, according to police.

The 55-year-old has been charged with four misdemeanor counts, including damaging property in a hit-and-run, driving a car across a dividing section, providing false information to cops, and driving without a valid license.

Rodman will be arraigned on Jan. 20, 2017, and could face a maximum jail sentence of two years if convicted.

He's being accused of driving his Range Rover head-on toward a sedan, prompting the driver of the other vehicle to swerve away and crash.

Rodman's also being accused of refusing to exchange information with the sedan driver, fleeing the scene before California Highway Patrol arrived, and lying to police about the incident.
