Barkley Reportedly On His Way to Sex Act When Stopped

Former NBA star and current TNT commentator Charles Barkley was reportedly in a hurry when he was pulled over earlier in the week in Arizona and ticketed for alleged DUI.

According to information from authorities recently released, Barkley, who starred for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, was in a hurry to pick up a woman for a sex act

"I was going to drive around the corner and get [oral sex]," the basketball Hall of Famer told law enforcement in Scottsdale, according to a police report.

He reportedly said the woman had performed the sex act for him a week ago and "it was the best one he had ever had," the report said.

Police said the former Auburn star blew through a red light, then pulled over to pick up the woman, who wasn't charged.

According to authorities, an officer with a task force that focuses on drunken driving witnessed Barkley run a stop sign about 1:30 a.m. Barkley was in Scottsdale's Old Town area when he was pulled over.

Authorities reported that Barkley failed field sobriety tests after the officer smelled alcohol on him, and he was arrested. Barkley turned down a breath test but was given a blood test.
