Prosecutors consider felony drug charge against Lamar Odom

PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) — Prosecutors are considering a felony drug charge against Lamar Odom after the former NBA star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel.

Nye County District Attorney Angela Bello said Monday that the sheriff's office submitted the potential charge last week, and a prosecutor is considering filing a count of unlawful use of cocaine or being under the influence of a controlled substance.
