Police charge Lamar Odom with DUI two weeks after arrest

Lamar Odom has been formally charged with diving under the influence two weeks after he was pulled over and arrested.

On Friday the Los Angeles City Attoey's office charged the 33-year-old basketballer with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence.

Prosecutors have not revealed specific details of what Odom was under the influence of.

The husband of reality star Khloe Kardashian will face court later this month with his arraignment scheduled for September 27.

The charges stem from Lamar's August 30 arrest.

Officers from the Califoian Highway Patrol pulled over the former LA Lakers star's  Mercedes-Benz on the 101 freeway in the San Feando Valley, Califoia, at 4am.

Officers claim the star was driving well below the speed limit and in a 'serpentine manner'.

Lamar reportedly initially refused a field sobriety test, then failed it and was held at Van Nuys police station before being released later that day on $15,000 bail.

Califoia Highway Patrol public information officer Leland Tang, told Radaronline at the time that the basketball player also refused a drug test which resulted in the immediate suspension of his license.

The officer said: 'He did what no one should ever do, he refused the chemical tests.

'That means that his license is revoked and Lamar could get the most powerful attoey in the world and he is still not going to have a license for a year.'

Odom is now facing six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.

For the last month there has been increased speculation that Lamar has abused drugs and the basketball pro is allegedly battling an addiction to crack cocaine.

A source has alleged that Lamar entered an outpatient program this week  to seek treatment but went on to claim that he missed a session on Tuesday.

There has also been allegations that Lamar had cheated on Khloe with multiple women.
