Charles Barkley DUI charges backfire with TNT

Friday, January 9th, 2009

David Levy the president of the TNT Sports division has indicated today that Charles Barkley will not be on TNT Sports for at least a few weeks at bare minimum and with no final return date being set in place. These events transpired shortly after Charles Barkley was arrested on DUI ( drinking and driving ) in Arizona, he had almost twice the legal limit of alcohol allowed in the state of Arizona when he was pulled over.

The new statement released from the David Levy about Charles Barkley says the following. “When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understands the significance of the situation. This is an important time for Charles as he deals with the legal and personal issues that confront him. Charles is a valued part of the Turner Sports organization and we are concerned for his well-being”.

To add another twist to the story, in the original police report Charles Barkley indicated to the police officer that the reason he crossed the stop sign is because he was in a hurry to pick up a women he saw. He then told the police officer that this women was giving him sexual favour before and that it was very good, so that is why he picked her up again. However there was no explanation as to why he was driving while being under heavy influence of alcohol.
