Turns Out That Scottsdale Is As Ridiculous As L.A. When It Comes To Dealing With Celebrities
March 6th, 2009 by Wendie
I know Beet was being optimistic, but as expected, Charles Barkley is getting the same treatment reserved for celebrities.
Barkley is set to serve his time for his oral-driven DUI. He was originally sentenced to ten days, which was cut to five. Now the brutal week-long sentence has been slashed to three days and begins tomorrow.
Does anyone want to place a wager that there will be a massive prison overcrowding and he’ll have to serve a sentence of shorter duration than the average temper tantrum I witness around my house?

too lazy to research….. was this his first DUI?
Lucky for Charles… he is serving the time in a celebrity friendly county.
Do a quick google search for Maricopa Co. Arizona and you will see that have a corrupt media loving – star struck Sheriff.
Here is a great place to read all about it.

So I have no doubt that all Charles will do for his 3 days is watch a little TV with the deputies and maybe sign a few autographs.
It’s hard to say. Yes, Arpaio is a moron. But look up DMX. He is not getting ANY special treatment. Possibly because he is acting like a complete ass, but anyway…Arpaio is an attention whore. If keeping Barkley in for the three days will get Arpaio some publicity, he will probably do it.

Altho Sheriff Joe does, indeed, love the spotlight, I doubt Chuck will be wearing any pink jailhouse garb or eating baloney sandwiches anytime soon. I hope I’m wrong, though. I love Charles Barkley, but he was a complete idiot in this situation, and maybe a weekend at Casa Tent City would give him some humility. I just can’t believe his wife is still married to him. He’s been infamous for his extracurricular activities in Phx for the past 20 years!
