Sir Charles Barkley Gets Jail Time For Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol.

Former NBA Basketball Star- Charles Barley- is reported to have entered a plea of guilty yesterday in a Scottsdale Arizona Court to driving under the influence of alcohol . The reports indicate that Barkley has been sentenced to ten days in jail but will only have to serve five days in jail if he successfully completes a court approved alcohol program. The reports also state that he has been ordered to attend a traffic school and pay $2,000.00 in fines. The reports further state that he is expected to start serving his jail sentence on March 21, 2009. If he were sentenced to jail for 5 days in New York, he would only end up serving a couple days unless he was sentenced on a Friday in which case he would be released that same day. I do not know if the same is true in Arizona.
