Total Pro Sports - A simple rule that most people seem to find very difficult to follow is "DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!"  But still to this day people take the chance night after night, putting themselves and other people's lives at risk.

Charles Barkley has officially joined the group!

All the money and fame in the world you would hope that a guy like Charles Barkley who knew he was going out for some drinks would be smart enough to hire a driver or even call a cab to get him home.

At 1:30 am a Gilbert police officer spotted the former NBA star running a stop sign.  He immediately pulled him over where and smelled alcohol on him.  Charles Barkley proceeded to fail a standard of field sobriety tests and declined to submit to a breath test but was given a blood test.  He was immediately arrested on suspicion of DUI.

The Police officer said that Barkley was very cooperative, was processed then later released.

It's only fitting that Charles Barkley was pulled over the day before New Years Eve.  With all the ride programs out this holiday season, this should be a lesson to anyone thinking they can get away with drinking and driving tonight.

Stop listening to that evil devil on your shoulder, take a cab tonight and "DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!"
