NBA legend busted for drunk driving
It didn’t happen in Dayton, but since I love Sir Charles, I had to mention this:
Former NBA star and Hall of Fame forward Charles Barkley was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving by Arizona police early Wednesday morning, Dec. 31, in his 2005 Infiniti.
Sir CharlesBarkley, 45, evidently blew through a stop sign and then failed a field sobriety test given by a Gilbert police officer. Blood was also drawn to determine his blood-alcohol content, according to reports.
He was issued a citation and released, avoiding a trip to jail somehow. Barkley, now a commentator for TNT’s NBA programs, has several prior arrests including aggravated battery in 1997 and for assault in 1991.
And this past year he was sued by a Las Vegas casino for not paying a large gambling debt. He then declared he was done gambling on TNT and then a short-time later played in a poker tournament “for charity.”
I still love him, though. I play poker “for charity” all the time, as well.
