Charles Barkley pleaded guilty to a DUI, and was sentenced to five days in jail, a $2,000 fine, and a mandatory alcohol treatment program.

Charles will spend his time in the famed Arizona tent jail, where inmates where pink.

Charles Barkley has been suspended from his Turner Sports Sportscasting job for several weeks resulting from his DUI arrest. Test results show that the former Barkley had a blood-alcohol level of .149 at the time of his arrest, nearly twice the legal limit of .08 in Arizona.

In case you didn’t hear yet, Barkley admitted he broke a traffic law that got him busted for DUI, because he was in a hurry to get a BJ from a girl. Barkley said the girl gave him one before and it was the best he ever had.

Was it worth it Barkley? Alcohol impairs good judgement.

Charles Barkley was arrested on suspicion of DUI around 1:30 am on this morning in Scottsdale, Arizona after he ran a stop sign. Barkley declined to submit to a breathalizer, but was given a blood test. The blood test results have not come back yet.

After being booked, Barkley was released and took a cab home.

Charles Barkley says he definitely plans to run for governor of Alabama, but wants no campaign help from shake down scam artists like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. "I don’t believe in them. They always play the race card, and you can’t always play the race card," the former Houston Rockets power forward tells next month’s Playboy. "Sometimes the race card is needed but not in every situation. We have to hold blacks more accountable for their actions."

Barkley is a real American. He looks past his race, brings out the best from within himself, and makes his best effort to succeed. Based only on what Barkley said above, I’d vote for him, if I lived in Alabama.
