Charles Barkley is heading to the slammer

Charles Barkley is going to jail. The Sixers legend pleaded guilty yesterday in an Arizona court to two counts of driving under the influence over a Dec. 31 incident, TMZ has reported.

Barkley was sentenced to 10 days in jail, but will only serve five if he completes an alcohol-education program. He must also pay a $2,000 fine before his sentence starts on March 21. Barkley, you may recall, amusingly told arresting officers that he had ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to receive oral sex from a woman whom he was picking up across the street. And speaking of blowing, the AP reports  Sir Charles will be required to install a breathlyzer type ignition device on his cars.

We wish the Round Mound of Rebound all the best in lockdown.

Jack Daniels on the rocks
Dan, I caught you on 610WIP this morning. Looks like all those Angelo plugs are helping out your career. Also you may want to stop talking about Tierney and this whole DN and Inky debt restructuring, it cannot help your career. But you should thank god for union jobs.

Wow, jail time for a DUI? Was this another DUI or his first. I thought SC was full of backwoods country f**ks with the Phelps incident. I guess Arizona is also...
