Celebrity Justice
Charles Barkley Is Going to Jail

Charles BarkelyHope they've got XXXXL jumpsuits in AZ, 'cause Charles Barkley is officially going to jail.

Barkley just pled guilty to 2 counts of driving under the influence and pleaded "responsible" to running a stop sign for the December 31 incident in Scottsdale.

Barkley was sentenced to 10 days in jail -- but will only do five if he completes an alcohol education program. Barkley was also fined $2,000.

Barkley will begin his sentence on March 21 -- but it's unclear if he will serve time in Arizona's famed Tent City Jail, where they make the inmates wear pink.

As for the gun cops say they found in Barkley's car on the night of the arrest -- no charges were ever filed.

31. Charles Barkley is going to jail. Now he can finally get that BJ. The only difference is, he won't be on the receiving end.

Don't drop the soap Chuck. You might find yourself in a different kind of Fave 5 that you don't want to be any part of.

34. Senior Charles did what was right. He screwed up (even tho its was something I see everyday, at every stop sign i have to go through). . He got caught. He admitted his mistake. He will pay the price and he gets to go on with his life. WHATS THE BIG DEAL? George Bush got caught and admitted his mistake and got to go on with his life. Bill Clinton got caught, VOWED and LIED TO YOU THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED, got a free ride from all the democrats in in Congress, and still acts like he's cool it didn't really happen, he didn't really LIE TO A GRAND JURY, Tha's why WE call it the RIGHT THING to do, its what RIGHT people do. We're honest, dog gone it. Charles has my Resoect because he did the RIGHT THING. and will take his licks. He didn't lie and say it didnt happen, like a democrat, or popularist does.
NOT A BUSH FAN, BUT HE ALWAYS TOLD THE TRUTH AND DIDN"T LIE.

36. You know what I find hilarious about this article. It's not that Charles Barkley is going to jail, it's the fact that your pathetic attempts at being journalists have obviously not served you well. Considering your reader base, I'd assume that you're articles are pretty picture heavy too, much like those small children's picture books you buy for toddlers.

We can't forget a classic statement like this, "but it's unclear if he will serve time in Arizona's famed Tent City Jail, where they make the inmates wear pink."

If that ever made it to a newspaper, the editor would be fired.
Take a grammar class.

38. Life under Sheriff Joe: Green baloney sandwiches, pink underware, clothing with big black and white stripes, picking up trash along a road while on a chain gang (tho I doube Sir Charles will be doing that) and life in a tent when it will be 90 degrees outside. Hope he enjoyed that boy's night out.

39. It seems if you got MONEY you got Power, It goes to show that MONEY has no color barrier, being black or white should never matter! But green sure does !!!, it is a simple fact if your a celeb or sports player or politician you can do what you want its all that simple, if it was you or me we would have to follow the law to the letter. So I wish I had MO MONEY so I could get a get out of jail 30 days for free pass, I bet he will get the Extra Super Size Ladmo Bag also at no charge.

41. Our sources connected to BET say that Charles Barkley has said he will return home to Alabama once he is released from the Arizona jail. Barkley who previousely had a home near Birmingham, Alabama at the famed Greystone Golf & Country Club is said to be planning a move to Cider Ridge Golf Club in Oxford, Alabama (see www.CiderRidgeHomes.com ); the same estate club where Suge Knight was recently seen playing golf and partying with an unidentified resident and two well known NFL players. Charles Barkley has expressed interest in running for Governor of Alabama, and even after this incident states he is looking at a campaign for the next term. One source who asked to remain unnamed told our reporter that Barkley said, "I'm going home to Alabama because this crap wouldn't be happening to me there".

45. It's good to know that Charles is Packin Heat, The Media and TV shows that are based in big cities like Chicago and NYC make people think that Guns are illegal. It's our second ammendment. Obama and Bush have worked hard to take away those rights. The Nazis took Free Speech and Guns rights away just like the false prophet Obama is doing. INFOWARS.COM PRISONPLANET.COM THEOBAMADECEPTION.NET 9-11 was an inside job

Mexico has extremely high crime because the criminal government and the mafia are the only ones who have guns. People down there can't have guns. Slaves aren't allowed to have Guns throughout history. Abort (impeach) Obama, not babies.

Liberalism is a mental disorder
