Controversial NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman's name was listed in a police report filed by a 22-year-old Florida woman who charged that she was drugged at a Fort Lauderdale hotel,
celebrity website TMZ reported.
The woman, Angela Torre, did not directly accuse Rodman of participating in the drugging and the former basketball superstar is not currently listed as a suspect in the case, authorities told TMZ.
Torre claimed she met Rodman, known lately for his trips to North Korea at the invitation of Kim Jong Un, and a friend at the Ocean Manor Resort Hotel on July 1, noted TMZ. Torre told police she ended up in a hospital after taking "one drink and a shot" in a hotel room, but could not remember what happened in between, according to the celebrity website.

Police said through its investigation that Torre was found "passed out" at the hotel's restaurant and transported to the hospital by fire department crews, noted TMZ.
"Torre believes she was given drugs by an unknown person without her knowledge, but does not recall," stated the police report, per TMZ.
The celebrity website reported it confirmed that Rodman was at the Bamboo Beach Tiki Bar at Ocean Manor that day during the World Cup match between USA and Belgium.
Rodman has made four trips to North Korea and has called Kim Jong Un his friend,
according to USA Today. He brought fellow retired NBA players to the repressive country for what he called a goodwill event earlier this year and was showered with criticism, noted the newspaper.
Rodman said in March he would not be returning to North Korea because of the controversy. He went into rehabilitation at a New Jersey recovery facility after his return from his last North Korea trip.
Rodman was also reportedly investigated by the FBI for bringing Kim Jong Un Irish Jameson whiskey, European crystal, an Italian suit, fur coat, an English Mulberry handbag for Kim's wife, Ri Sol Ju, worth thousands of dollars, but against United Nations sanctions placed on the country.
Rodman won NBA titles with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, captured two league defensive player of the year awards and was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
