Charles Barkley Goes to Jail on DUI
The “Round Mound of Rebound” is getting a taste of the other side of life these days. Charles Barkley turned his self in to the authorities in Arizona; where he we began a 3 day jail sentence for his DUI (driving under the influence) charges. He’s not in the typical jail cell and he’s actually been put in a private tent. This is the way the jail system is set up in Arizona and authorities insist that he’s not getting any special attention. He has been given his own tent, for his own security and nothing to do with the fact that Charles Barkley is a celebrity working for TNT Sports and an ex NBA star in basketball.
Charles Barkley has stated many times publicly that he’s not a role model and I think a lot of people see that now. Barkley claims he’s just a basketball player and that parents should be the role model for their kids. These recent charges in Arizona may hurt the former NBA player in the world of politics too. He had plan to run for the governor’s job in Alabama one day and not sure if the citizens in Bama will be as likely to vote for him now. He did give a live apology while on the air with Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith on TNT. Barkley has certainly pushed the limits in the past with his brash remarks and the way he criticizes current NBA players. It should be interesting to see if Barkley is as vocal as he once was; when his time is served in Arizona.
LOL…I normally don’t approve posts with links in them for things unrelated. Since you came out and seemed honest about it, I figured I would approve this one
Great that you got your speeding ticket dropped. I hate getting them and I usually just pay the 80 to 120 dollar fine and go on. I do hear that if you fight them, you will win in many cases.
