DECEMBER 31–Following his arrest earlier today for drunk driving, Charles Barkley told Arizona cops that he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up a girl who had “given him a ‘blow job’ one week earlier,” which the former NBA star described as “the best one he had ever had in his life.” According to a Gilbert Police Department report, a copy of which you’ll find here, police asked Barkley where he was going at the time of the 1:26 AM traffic stop in Scottsdale. “You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job,” answered Barkley, who is pictured in the below mug shot. A cooperative Barkley also joked with a civilian police employee that, “I’ll tattoo your name on my ass” if it would get him out of the DUI charge. Barkley, 45, was busted after failing field sobriety tests, and had blood drawn so investigators could establish his alcohol content. Barkley was cited for a misdemeanor charge and released at the scene, thus avoiding a trip to the Maricopa County jail.

Great player, entertaining commentator, but a knucklehead to the end.

So much for his ability to “speak truth to power” about matters relating to race and sports. He has no moral authority to criticize persons or institutions about their conduct if he exercises so little control over himself.

here’s the reason he was in a ‘hurry’ http://www.tmz.com/2008/12/31/barkley-all-i-really-wanted-was-oral-sex/

sorry for the title on the link, but that’s the link. sorry

why would he say that to a cop? if he knew the cop would write it up?

i know he was drunk, but if he was smart enough to request a blood test. why would he say this?

i dont know what your lawyers tell you, but every legal representative i’ve ever spoken with ALWAYS advises against blowing unless you’re absolutely positive you can pass w/ flying colors. YES you will get prosecuted for DUI but when you go to court, your lawyers chances of getting your case dropped to say a reckless driving are much greater bc you wont have any positive readings as evidence against you. i dont have any advice regarding blood tests other than try to avoid those as well.

alex is wrong. if you get your blood drawn, say, 2 hours later, the prosecutor will easily find an expert to estimate, based on scientific data, what your blood alcohol level was at the time of driving, based on that blood sample. thus it’s not the case that blood draws are always better than submitting to a breathalyzer test.

Every time I hear about a RICH guy catching a DUI I wonder why none of these guys have drivers?? I f I had that much money I wouldn’t drive anywhere. I’d have 1 guy on payroll who’s job is strictly to drive me around.

This doesn’t change my opinion of the guy. I’ll always have respect for him. I know some really good people who’ve caught a DUI.
