Retired NBA star Charles Barkley was arrested early Wednesday (December 31) in Scottsdale, Arizona, and charged with suspicion of driving under the influence.

According to the Associated Press, the 45-year-old NBA commentator ran a stop sign at around 1:30 a.m., prompting officers to pull Barkley over for the traffic violation.

Once he was stopped, the officer smelled alcohol, and conducted a field sobriety test, which Sir Charles reportedly failed. The retired b-ball player refused the breathalyzer, but was later given a blood test, said reports.

Barkley was taken to police headquarters, processed, cited, and later released. But, he had to leave in a cab because his car was impounded.
