*Looks like Sir Charles Barkley got his New Years celebrating off to an early start.
The ex-NBA baller with the big mouth and midsection to match was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Wednesday in the Phoenix area.
An officer with a task force that targets drunken driving saw the former NBA star run a stop sign about 1:30 a.m., Gilbert police Lt. Eric Shuhandler said. Barkley was in Scottsdale's Old Town area, a trendy spot in the Phoenix area.
"I am disappointed that I put myself in that situation," Barkley said in a statement to The Associated Press. "The Scottsdale police were fantastic. Now it is a legal matter and I will not comment any further as it is a legal matter."
The 45-year-old Barkley, whose big mouth serves him was as an NBA television commentator or TNT, failed field sobriety tests after the officer smelled alcohol on him, and he was arrested. Barkley declined to submit to a breath test but was given a blood test. The results weren't immediately available.
Barkley was cited and released. His car was impounded and he left in a cab, Shuhandler said. Police described Barkley as cooperative, adding it is customary to release people after an arrest on suspicion of DUI.
Oh, did we say he was cooperative? He most certainly was. Maybe too much. According to a Gilbert Police Department officer, Barkley said he was on his way see a girl to "get a blow job." Apparently, according to the police report, he had her services the week before because went on to admit that she gave him "the best one he had ever had in his life."
