Dennis Rodman was arrested Wednesday night at a Los Angeles hotel for domestic battery, LAPD officials confirm.

Rodman, 46, was taken into custody after police arrived on the scene shortly after 10:15 p.m., responding to a domestic dispute.

The former NBA star posted $50,000 bail and was released five hours later. A court date is set for May 22.

UPDATE: Rodman's manager Darren Prince tells TMZ, "Last night Dennis and his girlfriend had too much to drink. When they returned to their hotel they started arguing and a minor altercation broke out where Dennis grabbed her by the arm and left a bruise." Hotel security got involved and called LAPD, who responded and made the arrest. We're told Dennis plans to enter a rehab facility immediately upon returning to Florida because -- according to Prince -- "his drinking has been escalating in the last six weeks due to a nasty divorce and not seeing his children in over two months."
