Attention now shifts to a March 17 status hearing with blood-test results still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Odom, 46, was stopped on Jan. 17 after troopers alleged his SUV was traveling about 106–110 mph and swerving on I-15 near Spring Mountain Road.
  • An arrest report cites an overwhelming odor of marijuana, bloodshot and watery eyes, and indications of impairment during field sobriety tests.
  • He faces misdemeanor counts of DUI, speeding at least 41 mph over the limit, and improper lane change, with an evidentiary blood draw completed.
  • Odom appeared Jan. 25 at C3 Lounge to promote a spirits line, declined to discuss the case, and was reported as not drinking during the outing.
