LAMAR Odom has allegedly been arrested for driving under the influence in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The former basketball player, 46, who was previously married to Khloe Kardashian, has battled drug and alcohol addition in the past.
According to TMZ, who reported the arrest, Lamar was also given two traffic violations during the arrest.
The celebrity news site claims that he was slapped with the violations for driving more than 41+ miles per hour over the limit and improper lane change/failure to maintain lane.
TMZ also claimed that Lamar remains in police custody currently.
The Sun has reached out to Lamar’s rep for comment.
Lamar has made no secret of his struggles with alcohol and drugs in the past, and in 2023, fronted a TMZ documentary titled Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians.
During the documentary and in his memoir, Darkness to Light, Lamar detailed his struggles with substances and his journey getting clean from cocaine.
His recovery came following a highly publicized near-death experience back in 2015, when the sportsman overdosed in a brothel.
Following a four-day bender, Lamar was found unresponsive after having 12 seizures, six strokes, and his heart stopping twice.
“My doctors from Cedars-Sinai said, like, I’m a walking miracle,” he previously told ABC.
After the harrowing experience, Lamar admitted to having “no memory” of taking drugs that day, despite the near-lethal doses.
The incident – which came shortly after his split from wife Khloe – pushed Lamar to have a stint in rehab the following year.
However, he previously detailed how he has used small doses of ketamine under medical supervision in order to get clean.
In 2019, Lamar told ABC that he does occasionally have a social alcoholic drink, but has steered clear of any other substances.
Lamar rose to prominence for playing in NBA team Los Angeles Lakers, winning several accolades during his run in the professional league.
At the height of his fame, he married Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Khloe and the pair even had their own reality show, Khloe and Lamar.
However, things took a downward spiral for the couple as Lamar’s drug addiction worsened and he admitted to infidelities.
He has apologized publicly several times to his ex-wife, whom he split from in 2013 following four years of marriage.
The divorce was finalized two years later, in 2016.
