Lamar odom arrest, Troubled NBA player Lamar Odom was arrested for DUI early Friday morning. Lamar Odom’s downward spiral just took a turn for the worse.
The Queens-born NBA star was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs early Friday morning, according to a police report obtained by the Daily News.
Odom, 33, was behind the wheel of a white Mercedes-Benz SUV driving eastbound on Los Angeles’ 101 Freeway — not far from the Tarzana, Calif., home he shares with his reality-star wife Khloe Kardashian, cops said.
Odom — who has been battling a crack-cocaine addiction — was driving in a “serpentine manner” at 50 mph, significantly slower than the speed limit of 65 mph, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.
The 6-foot-10 former Laker was even slower to respond to cops’ requests to pull over — driving past three exits within a 2-mile stretch before leaving the freeway and coming to a stop shortly before 4 a.m.
The police report described Odom as showing “objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained and demonstrated.” He refused, however, to submit to further chemical tests after his arrest.
A chemical test is what is used to test for the presence of alcohol and drugs in the system and in this case Mr. Odom refused to submit,” Sgt. Denise Joslin, spokesman for the California Highway Patrol, told The News.
No drugs or alcohol were found inside the vehicle, according to TMZ.com.Khloe Kardashian tries to keep a low profile under an oversized hoody as she heads into a Los Angeles gym Thursday.
Odom was held at a Van Nuys jail on $15,000 bail and released by 8:30 a.m.
Six days before his arrest, Odom was involved in a three-car collision on the same freeway, the L.A. Times reported – nabbing the scoop because one of its reporters was rear-ended by the vehicle hit by the b-baller’s SUV.
Lamar Odom spotted picking up Italian food with a friend in West LA Thursday.
The News’ Confidenti@l reported that his marriage to Kardashian may be nearing an end as her mother, Kris Jenner, held an emergency two-hour meeting with celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.
Kardashian, 29, has reportedly made several unsuccessful attempts to help her husband get clean from alleged drug abuse.
The reality star staged an intervention that went badly, and prompted Odom to storm out of the couple’s home last week
