Lamar Odom is once again under the spotlight, but this time it’s not for his basketball skills. The former NBA star found himself in a tight spot with the law after being pulled over for speeding at a staggering 106 MPH in the early hours of the morning. Officers noted that Odom had bloodshot, watery eyes, and, unsurprisingly, his car reeked of marijuana.
During questioning, Odom admitted to smoking earlier in the day but insisted it was his passenger who was puffing away during the ride. As if that wasn’t enough, his attempts to charm the police with light banter about driving like he was in “Back To The Future” were met with a need for sobriety tests, which he, rather amusingly, did not pass with flying colors.
Now facing multiple charges, including DUI and excessive speed, it looks like Odom could use a little more practice—not just on the court but also behind the wheel. It’s a reminder that high speeds and‘Mary Jane’are a risky combination, no matter who you are!
