Lamar Odom is getting help following his arrest. As we previously reported, the former professional basketball player was busted in Las Vegas earlier this month for driving under the influence. Along with the DUI, he also got charged with two traffic violations: driving more than 41 miles per hour over the speed limit and improper lane change or failure to maintain lane. According to TMZ, cops claimed Lamar raced past a police cruiser in a black SUV at 106 MPH at around 2:00 a.m. on January 17. Before pulling him over, they witnessed the car change lanes without using turn signals and then use turn signals without changing lanes.

Cops asked Lamar about his speed, to which he said he was on the phone with his manager and almost home. They then questioned if he lit up recently, but Lamar said it was only his passenger who smoked a "little bit" of weed and that he "does not smoke marijuana." He also denied drinking alcohol before driving. The police eventually asked Lamar to exit the vehicle. But when the athlete did, they claimed the car was still in drive because it started to move when he released the brake. Yikes. Per the report, he quickly put it in park and got out. At that point, cops asked him again if he smoked that day, and he owned up to it. He said he did - but "hours, hours earlier," around 4:00 p.m. Then, after failing the field sobriety tests and consenting to a blood draw, Lamar was taken into custody. Now, we have a new update... Weeks later, Lamar - who has been open about his struggles with addiction and nearly died from an overdose in the past - is entering rehab again. His manager, Gina Rodriguez, confirmed the news to People on Thursday, saying he checked into a 30-day program at iRely Recovery in Los Angeles. She explained that Lamar decided to seek treatment for marijuana use after becoming concerned that it could make him relapse into harder drugs: "After a recent incident, he took a step back to reflect and address triggers he's been dealing with." Rodriguez noted Lamar made the "personal decision" to enter rehab to "reset and focus on his health," adding that he is taking "full responsibility and choosing to be proactive about his wellbeing." She concluded: "Lamar is grateful for the support and is committed to moving forward in a healthy, positive way." We hope Lamar gets the help he needs following this situation!
