Charles Barkley’s mugshot met the definition of “shitfaced,” and so did his blood alcohol level on the night he got caught for driving drunk in Scottsdale.
The former Suns b-ball player’s blood registered .149 on the alcohol dial, say reports, just barely missing the state’s .15 threshold for “extreme DUI” penalties. A conviction on a regular DUI charge still means a day in jail and a mandatory installation of a breath-test device in his vehicle.
Barkley is scheduled to appear in Scottsdale city court on February 6 at 2:30 p.m. before Judge James Black.
