The Sheriff now has the results of Lamar Odom's blood tests, and as expected, he tested positive for cocaine. Law enforcement sources say the Nye County Sheriff's Department received the results of the blood that was drawn at the hospital in Las Vegas, and it showed cocaine was indeed in Odom's system when he was admitted.
Sheriff Sharon Wehrly had earlier said that if there was cocaine in his blood it was "distinctly possible" he would be prosecuted for drugs.
However, the good news for Lamar is that even if he's prosecuted he won't go to jail. Although cocaine possession carries a 1 - 4 year prison sentence in Nevada, first time offenders routinely get drug diversion and when they complete the drug education course, the charges are dismissed.
