Lamar Odom attorney makes not guilty plea in Las Vegas DUI case An attorney for former NBA basketball star Lamar Odom made a not guilty plea on his client’s behalf Tuesday in a DUI case. Odom, 46, was arrested on DUI and speeding charges in January by the Nevada Highway Patrol. Police reported he drove more than 110 mph on Interstate 15 south of Russell Road and failed multiple sobriety tests while emitting a marijuana odor. He did not appear at the hearing. Defense attorney Kevin Coburn declined to comment on the allegations after court, stating the case was in its preliminary stages and the defense had only recently received discovery materials. Odom entered rehab following his arrest, according to prior news reports, and Coburn confirmed he has completed the program. Odom, who played 14 NBA seasons for the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Dallas Mavericks, had a prior DUI arrest in 2013, the year his relationship with reality star Khloe Kardashian ended. He also nearly died from a drug overdose at a Nye County brothel in 2015. His bench trial is scheduled for July 7. The case highlights ongoing legal challenges for Odom, who has faced multiple allegations over the years. His absence at the recent hearing underscores the complexity of his defense, which remains in early stages. Prosecutors have not yet filed formal charges, and the trial date reflects the procedural delays common in high-profile cases. The incident adds to a pattern of legal troubles for Odom, who has struggled with personal and professional setbacks since retiring from professional basketball. His case has drawn public attention due to his past fame and the severity of the alleged offenses, including the high speed and impaired driving.#lamar_odom #kevin_coburn #nevada_highway_patrol #russell_road #interstate_15
