Usually NBA on TNT analyst Charles Barkley makes the news for being hilarious, hilariously outspoken, or just outspoken. Sometimes, his gambling debts get the attention of the watching world. But things are a bit more dicey this morning, as the Associated Press reports Chuck was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in Arizona after allegedly blowing through a stop sign.Barkley has been open about his vices in the past, and though he isn't working any games this week due to the holiday I suspect he'll address the arrest on the air or in public at some point. With an eye on a future gubernatorial run in Alabama, Barkley has to be perfectly transparent.
Also, he has to not be stupid. If Barkley was in fact drunk (no BAC test results out yet), he made a stupid move. Turner pays a rich enough salary to allow for cab rides. Barkley would rip a player for making a dumb move like this, and he deserves his own medicine (again, if the charges are true).

Charles has always been a loud mouth bafoon. Add on "hazard to the public' to that moniker.
