Gator Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Charles Barkley was arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving early Wednesday morning. An officer with a law enforcement task force that targets drunken driving saw the former NBA star run a stop sign around 1:30 a.m., said Gilbert police Lt. Eric Shuhandler. Barkley declined to submit to a breath test but was given a blood test. The results weren't immediately available. After Barkley was processed, he was cited and released. He left in a cab, Shuhandler said. Shuhandler said there was nothing remarkable about Barkley's arrest and that it is customary to release people after they've been arrested on suspicion of DUI. "There was nothing unusual about how he was taken into custody," Shuhandler said. "He was treated exactly like we treat anybody else." Barkley was arrested in Scottsdale's Old Town area, one of the trendiest spots in the Phoenix metro area. Barkley played 16 NBA seasons for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, and played on the USA Olympic "Dream Team" in 1992 and 1996. He was an 11-time NBA All-Star and league MVP in 1993. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Nothing good happens at 1:30 in the morning. Actually, I disagree. In fact, last night at approximately 1:30...maybe even 2:00...I was in the process of recording hat tricks with both Malkin and Crosby in the same game on NHL 09 for PS3. It was my best game offensively of the season. BTW--Barkley is the John Daly of sportsbroadcasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 BTW--Barkley is the John Daly of sportsbroadcasting Love 'em both. There's just something about watching a guy that can't get out of his own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 What! That's the next governor of Alabama! Shocker. As much as I hate to correct you, ... your punctuation was wrong. It should have been, "What? That's the next Governor of Alabama!" It's early and I don't feel good, so I had to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 You sure they didn't see him swinging a golf club, and then pulled him over as he was leaving the golf course? Thinking maybe he HAD to be intoxicated to swing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colts1888 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 LOL. Did anyone read why it was that he "blew" the stop sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
