Sir Charles Arrested
Basketball great and NBA analyst on TNT Charles Barkley was arrested early Wednesday morning on suspicion of DUI.
Barkley was arrested in Old Town Scottsdale in Arizona after a police officer spotted Barkley run a stop sign.
He failed a standard field sobriety test after the police officer who pulled him over smelled alcohol on his breath.
Barkley refused a breath test but did have a blood test taken and the results were not available immediately.
He was processed, cited, and then released. His car was impounded and he had to leave in a cab. It is customary that the Scottsdale police release a suspect after an arrest on suspicion of DUI.
