Lamar Odom seen socializing at a Las Vegas bar days after DUI scare
Lamar Odom was spotted on a night out in Las Vegas while under the influence just days after his shocking arrest. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The former NBA star, 46, appeared relaxed in the C3 Lounge, chatting and laughing with companions while keeping a low profile.
A source told TMZ that Odom only hung out with friends, and that he did not drink.
The sighting comes after Odom’s arrest on January 17, when police stopped him for speeding and reported signs of impairment, including bloodshot eyes and an odor of marijuana.
Odom was reportedly driving 105 mph, more than 40 mph over the speed limit, and made an improper lane change.
Before administering the field sobriety tests, police asked Odom about his medical history, including any previous brain injuries.
According to the report, Odom joked that he had suffered “twelve strokes and six heart attacks” and claimed he had been poisoned in a Pahrump brothel.
During the sobriety exercises, officers observed multiple signs of impairment. Odom had difficulty with the finger-on-nose test, walking and turning, the modified Romberg balance and the one-leg stance.
He swayed, lost his balance, started testing prematurely, missed heel-to-toe steps, paused mid-test, and stepped off the designated line.
The report also noted eye twitching, repeated failures to touch his nose on six attempts, and a significant misjudgment of time – he estimated that 30 seconds had passed when only 13 seconds had elapsed.
The basketball star has since spoken out about the recent arrest.
“I am learning from this experience and remain committed to my continued growth,” Odom said in a statement TMZ Sports. “I have worked hard to rebuild my life, and taking responsibility is an essential part of that process.”
He added: “I am fully cooperating, remaining honest and focused on moving forward with integrity. Thank you to those who continue to support me.”
In 2013, the former NBA star faced a DUI arrest, and in 2015, he suffered a near-fatal medical crisis that shocked the public.
That year, Odom was found unconscious at the Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, after a drug-related episode that left him on life support.
