On December 31, 2008 at about 0127 hours, Charles Barkley was stopped for failure to stop at a stop sign. The traffic stop occurred in the area of 75th Street and 6th Avenue Scottsdale, AZ. A Gilbert Police Officer assigned to the East Valley DUI Task Force made the traffic stop. The officer identified the driver of the 2005 Infiniti as Charles Barkley. Mr. Barkley was administered the standard field sobriety tests after the odor of intoxicating liquor was detected. After the officer established probable cause, Mr. Barkley was arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor under ARS 28-1381A1, a class 1 misdemeanor.
After he was arrested, his vehicle was towed from the scene of his arrest (28-872). Mr. Barkley was transported to the East Valley DUI Command Post where officers are assigned to the saturation patrol. Mr. Barkley was given a blood test to determine alcohol content. He was cooperative and respectful during the entire incident. Upon conclusion of the booking procedure, he was cited and released. This is common practice for the Gilbert Police Department in many DUI cases. Mr. Barkley was treated in the same manner as all other impaired drivers who are arrested by the Gilbert Police Department.
