Lamar Odom arrested on DUI and traffic violations in Las Vegas

According to Pagesix, Lamar Odom, 46, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Las Vegas early Saturday morning.

The report said he also faces two traffic violations: driving more than 41+ miles per hour over the limit and improper lane change/failure to maintain lane. The outlet said Odom remains in custody.

Odom has a history of legal and health incidents previously reported: a DUI arrest in Los Angeles in 2013 and a nearly fatal drug overdose in October 2015 at Nevada’s Love Ranch brothel that left him in a coma and prompted care from his then-wife Khloè Kardashian. He has spoken publicly about his addiction and recovery, telling Good Morning America in 2021, "I went to rehab and did some other things, but ketamine came into my life at the right time," and saying, "I’m feeling amazing," "I’m alive, I’m sober, I’m happy." He also said in a 2021 Facebook Live interview with "Addiction Talk" that he was "really hurt" and "embarrassed" when he discovered he had ingested drugs that night, and has accused either the brothel’s owner Dennis Hof—or someone working for Hof—of being responsible for his hospitalization.

What happens next is unclear from the report; the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment and further details on charges or any court appearances were not given.
