Charles Barkley Arrested for DUI in Scottsdale, Arizona

When will they ever learn … especially individuals that can actually afford to have limos take them anywhere? Former NBA great and present basketball commentator Charles Barkley was arrested Wednesday in Scottsdale, Arizona, on suspicion of drunken driving. What a shock, Barkley is actually at a loss for words for once.

Seems that Charles Barkley did not even wait until New Year Eve to tie one on and get into trouble. Is there a thing called “the day before New Years Eve, Eve”?

DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

Barkley issued a brief statement, saying, “I am disappointed that I put myself in that situation. The Scottsdale police were fantastic. I will not comment any further as it is a legal matter.”

Lt. Eric Shuhandler of the Gilbert Police Department said an officer pulled Barkley over after he ran a stop sign in Scottsdale’s Old Town area, a trendy spot known for its nightclubs and bars. Gilbert and Scottsdale are in the Phoenix metro area.

During DUI arrest Charles Barkley told cops that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to get oral sex from a woman he recetly met. Charles, you may now be in more hot water with your wife than the law.
