However, he did not initially yield to their instructions to pull over and drove for three more exits in the San Fernando Valley at around 3:45 a.m. He was ultimately stopped for driving on 101 Freeway at 50 MPH. Cops called his driving "serpentine".

Odom was also chided for not following procedure.
