Lamar Odom Gets Three Years Of Probation After Pleading No Contest To DUI

Lamar Odom has plead no contest to driving (very slowly) under the influence of alcohol last August.
Odom, a Los Angeles Clippers player and estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian, will be on probation for three years and he has to take a 3-month alcohol education class, according to Radar. Odom's attorney showed up in court to enter a plea for his client.
Odom was pulled over on the 101 Freeway last August for driving in a slow, "serpentine" manner. He didn't pull over for the California Highway Patrol for several exits. He refused to take a breathalyzer test, but he flunked all the field sobriety tests. Initially, he plead not guilty to DUI charges.
Odom recently agreed to random drug testing in return for a spot on the Clippers.
