Driving Under The Influence: Lamar Odom Goes On Probation For 3 Years

Lamar Odom just cut a deal in his driving under the influence (DUI) case. The NBA star agrees to plead “no contest” to the crime and in exchange he’ll be on probation for the next 3 years.

Odom was arrested in L.A. on August 30 at 3:25 AM after cops saw him driving too slow on the 101 Freeway.

TMZ reports that Khloe’s husband flunked field sobriety tests and refused to submit to a blood alcohol test.  He was ultimately charged with one count of DUI.

But today, Lamar struck a deal with prosecutors and in addition to 3 years of probation, he’s required to complete an alcohol education class by June 9.

He’s also been ordered to pay $1,814 in fines and fees.

Odom’s driver’s license was automatically suspended for one year for refusing to submit to the BAC test — and that punishment will stand.

For those of us that will be confused about BAC. It is a blood alcohol test that measures the amount of alcohol (ethanol) in your body.
