Lamar Odom was arrested Friday, Aug. 30 for driving under the influence. He was released a few hours later on a $15,000 bond but the trouble is far from over. According to E! News, Odom was pulled over on 101 freeway for "driving in a serpentine manner" - which is more extreme than weaving.
When he was pulled over he was given a field sobriety test but failed. He also refused to take a chemical test which could cost him to lose his driver's license for a year. Leland Tang, the Public Information Officer, explained to E! that refusing to take a chemical test when pulled over on suspicion of a DUI is the worst thing a person can do.
Even if Odom is found not guilty of driving under the influence in court he could still lose his license. According to E! his wife Khloe Kardashian is worried about him and is urging him to seek help.
"Khloe and the family are urging Lamar to seek treatment," a source said.
According to TMZ, Odom did a secret stint in a San Diego rehab last summer for his alleged drug addiction. Kardashian had to persuade her husband to go but he only stayed for three weeks. After he left, a source said he stayed clean the entire time he was with the Clippers but started using again after the season ended.
Kardashian isn't dealing with the Odom drama alone. Her family is standing by her side and is also urging the athlete to get help, even though they reportedly just found out about the addictions and marriage trouble.
A source told US Weekly, that the 29-year-old had kept her entire family in the dark about everything she was dealing with.
"Khloe did keep her marriage issues with Lamar a secret from her family for quite some time - no one knew," a source told the magazine.
There have been several rumors that the couple was headed for divorce but a source claims neither one has made any moves to speak to a divorce lawyer. Her family is also urging her not to get a divorce and to help him get better. Kardashian is committed to helping her man but is hoping this arrest will be a huge wake-up call for him.
"Khloe has been trying so, so hard to keep him from hitting a bottom like this," the source said. "But if this is what needed to happen, then is what needed to happen."
