Charles Barkley Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
Apparently, Charles Barkley wasn’t kidding when he told us, 15 years ago, that he wasn’t a “role model”. Of course, at that point Barkley had already been arrested on a physical violence charge, so we might have known–but the retired Hall-of-Famer has been pretty quiet in recent years.
The retired basketball star reportedly ran a stop sign in Scottsdale, Arizona early this morning and was escorted by police to a DUI checkpoint. The Associated Press is reporting that Barkley declined a breath test and was subjected to a blood test, then placed under arrest.
Compulsory blood tests following breathalyzer test refusal have become a hot issue recently–although some states have been obtaining blood test warrants on breath test refusals for several years, the specifics remain controversial.
