Barkley pleads guilty to DUI charges, faces jail time

by Heather Hoch

Former Phoenix Suns player Charles Barkley was sentenced Monday to 10 days in jail after pleading guilty to a DUI charge, stemming from his arrest on New Year’s Eve.

Barkley was sentenced in a Scottsdale court to 10 days in jail, five of which will be suspended if Barkley completes a court-approved alcohol program.

Barkley was also sentenced to pay more than $2,000 in fines.

Barkley was stopped by a Gilbert police officer on Dec. 31 in Old Town Scottsdale with a blood-alcohol content of 0.149, which is nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 under Arizona State law.
