Lamar Odom Arrested for Suspicion of DUI

Khloe Kardashian's husband failed field sobriety check and refused to submit to blood tests

NBA player and Kardashian husband Lamar Odom was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, the California Highway Patrol has confirmed to TheWrap.

According to the CHP report, Odom's white Mercedes was observed driving in a "serpentine manner" on the 101 freeway. When officers pulled Odom over, he "showed objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests."

He was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, but refused to submit to chemical tests. In California, that refusal means his license will be suspended for at least one year.

Odom, who last played for the Los Angeles Clippers, married reality star Khloe Kardashian in 2009 and the two starred in an E! reality series based on their marriage. Khloe and Lamar has been on hiatus since 2012.

Media reports have speculated that Odom has a serious drug problem and his marriage to Kardashian was in trouble. Odom was suspended by the NBA for violating its anti-drug policy twice in 2001.

Odom's representative did not respond to TheWrap's request for comment.

TMZ was the first to report the news.
