Celebrity DUI Bust
Charles Barkley, the famous retired basketball player, was picked up for DUI on Wednesday the 31st. Barkley started his evening partying with former New York Giant Michael Strahan and Jaleel White who you may know better by the name “Urkel.” Barkley spent large amounts of money on champagne and drank into the evening before getting into his car and driving away.
Barkley was then pulled over after running through a red light but not before Barkley could pick up a woman from the side of the road. Barkley admitted to the arresting officer that he was in a rush because the woman was talented at oral sex and he was rushing so the act could be performed:
“I was going to drive around the corner and get [oral sex],” the basketball Hall of Famer told police in Scottsdale, Ariz., a police report said.
He said the woman had performed the sex act for him last week and “it was the best one he had ever had,” the report said.” (Source New York Daily News)
Barkley tried to make a deal with the arresting officer by offering to have the officer’s name tattooed on on his butt. Oddly, this request did nothing to help Barkley out of his situation. This latest driving incident comes on the heels of previous news of a large gambling debt amassed by Barkley. Sir Charles had discussed the idea of running for mayor of his hometown in the past, but DUI arrests coupled with picking up woman for sexual favors and offering to have a police officer’s name tattooed on your butt…makes him the seemingly most perfect candidate for political office.

Mr. Barley made the same mistake that many people make: he thinks that he can talk his way out of a DUI charge. Maybe you could 20 years ago but not today.
The police see him as a trophy; they would not sooner release him than a fisherman would release a prize bass.
Bob,
I think their is some truth in what you say. I’m sure those cops didn’t want to get fired either for letting a drunk guy drive around!
They could have put him in a cab just like they did after they tested and booked him in their mobile van.
