harles 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.

ESPN’s Michael Wilbon will find some way to minimize the arrest by talking about how great a person Sir Charles is.
BTW: ESPN’s gasbags are still downplaying it by not talking about it
Query... If J.C. Watts or Jack Kemp was arrested for DUI there lede would be “Former pro football player and Republican ____ was arrested for drunk driving, yada, yada, yada.”
I have always found Charles Barkley to be highly entertaining!!!...I can’t wait for the ‘arrest’ tape to be leaked on you-tube........just another comical chapter in the life of the mound-round of rebound!!!
I wonder if he was busted by this guy....
He lives in Arizona. McCain will find some way to suck up to him
I personally like the commercial where the waitress says to Dwayne (in reference to Barkley): “Is that your dad?”
Oh, he’s a democrat alright. Spent a lot of time bashing all things republican in recent times.
No doubt he will be screaming ‘racism’ with regard to his arrest.
Good to know I'm still smarter than 'Sir Charles'. I had no doubt that in my lifetime I'd see a black man as Presidential nom and President. Probably a woman too..maybe even a black woman!
It will be interesting to see how his 'Auburn Family' will take the news/blame it on rival team Coach Saban. lol
Saban, aka: “Nick Satan”
Those commercials with him and Dwayne Wade have 'gay' written all over them.
This one is one of the weirdest:

Wow.
Life’s to short too spend it on hating. Just ignore.
To quote Sgt Hulka, “Lighten up Francis.”
The “bromance” is the latest theme. In fact, Ryan Seacrest developed a show around it that premiers in January. Ryan’s show “Moma’s Boys” has been on a couple of weeks now.
I am 'turribully' glad I read the thread before I posted from my inner Frank Caliendo...
Charles Barkley was a great basketball player... but then he retired and started talking... Good job chuck! And hey don’t worry, your a registered democrat now, this won’t hurt your chances at office, just keep playing your race card and you’ll be a shoe in.
As you may know, Chucky played around with being a Pubbie some years ago. But methinks “Mr. Tough Guy” evidently wilted under criticism from his friends and slithered over to the Dummycrat party where his low-life self belongs.
Since he is a Dummycrat, this DUI will just be a resume-enhancement for Chucky’s political ambititions.
Oh trust me, Chucky was doing lots of talking when he was a player. In fact, the sports media loved him because you never knew what was going to come out of his mouth, but they always knew it would usually make good fodder for the 10 pm newz.
He's a jerk. Especially on the links. I watched him cuss out a volunteer at a charity golf tournament because the volunteer wouldn't get a ball he hit into a gated yard on the course. The man is just plain mean.
I thought I had a terrible swing
Sorry to hear that. I have only seen him on tv on talk shows so I don’t really know him.
