Lamar Odom was charged Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence after he was spotted driving erratically on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley.

Odom was arrested at 3:54 a.m. and booked into jail at 5:01 a.m., according to jail records.

Police officials said they spotted Odom driving a white Mercedes sports utility vehicle eastbound on the 101 Freeway near Sepulveda Boulevard. The driver was driving in a "serpentine manner" at speeds of about 50 mph.

Odom, an NBA free agent, has been linked by recent reports to drug use and suspicion of hiding.
