There are still very much conflicting reports about Lamar Odom’s addiction. All anyone can agree on is that he is a drug user. However, RadarOnline says he’s on Oxy and Ambien, TMZ says its’ crack cocaine, and Us Weekly is adamant it’s “only” cocaine.
In any case, he’s got a problem. Things were just starting to turn around as his old team the Los Angeles Lakers offered him a job… on the condition he get clean. HOURS later, Odom has been arrested for driving while under the influence. Although, it’s not clear what he’s under the influence of since he refused a bunch of their tests.
Lamar Odom was arrested for “driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs” early Friday morning.
The bust occurred in the San Fernando Valley at 3:54 AM. Lamar — who was driving a white Mercedes SUV — was popped by the California Highway Patrol and taken to a nearby station, where he was booked and is being held on $15,000 bail.
He was pulled over on the 101 Freeway for going too slow — 50 MPH. Cops say Odom had been driving in a “serpentine manner.”
Lamar initially did not respond to cops, and drove 3 exits before finally coming to a stop. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ he showed obvious signs of intoxication.
Lamar failed numerous field sobriety tests. When Lamar was booked… he refused all chemical tests.
