According to reports by drunk driving lawyers in Los Angeles, former NBA player Charles Barkley was arrested Wednesday of allegedly driving under the influence after being stopped for running a stop sign.
According to reports Gilbert Police Lt. Eric Shuhandle stated an officer with the law enforcement task force who target drivers under the influence stopped Barkley for running a stop sign in the Scottsdale area, at approximately 1:30 a.m. The traffic stop and arrest took place in the Scottsdale Old Town vicinity in the Phoenix metro area.
Berkley submitted to field sobriety tests after the officer who stopped him smelled alcohol, which according to reports he failed. Barkley was then arrested for driving under the influence and refused to submit to a breath test. He was then given a blood test according to Lt. Shuhandler.
Lt. Shuhandler said that Barkley’s car was impounded and after he was processed and cited he was released, he went on to state this is the normal process with driving under the influence charges. The police Lt. Stated the traffic stop and arrest was without incident and the former NBA player was treated the same as any other driver arrested for an alleged driving under the influence charge.
During Barkley’s NBA career he played 16 seasons for the Philadelphia 76’s, the Houston Rockets, and the Phoenix Suns, he also played on Olympic teams in 1992 and 1996.

The former player was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
