NBA legend Charles Barkley is no stranger to controversy.  He is as a famous for his dramatic post NBA weight gain, horrid golf swing, and recent gambling addiction as he was for his time with the 76ers and Suns.  Since news broke about Barkley’s large gambling debt Sir Charles has maintained a low profile…until December 31st.  Barkley was picked up while driving his car for DUI according to the New York Daily News:

“Barkley, 45, was pulled over around 1:30 a.m. A cop saw him blow through a red light, then pull over to pick up the woman, who wasn’t charged. “

Who was this woman and what was she doing in Barkley’s car?  “I was going to drive around the corner and get [oral sex],” the basketball Hall of Famer told police in Scottsdale, Ariz., a police report said.” (Source New York Daily News.) 

Barkley looks haggard and sweaty in his mug shot and the man himself seems to be showing remorse, or at least guilt for being caught.  The arrest came on the heels of a night of partying with former New York Giant Michael Strahan and Urkel…yes, Urkel.  Barkley had spent large quantities of money on expensive alcohol before leaving the club.  Perhaps the most amusing detail of the night is after his arrest  Barkley offered to have the arresting officer’s name tattooed on his butt if he would let him go, but this angle did not work for Sir Charles.
