PHOENIX — Former NBA star Charles Barkley has begun serving a three-day sentence on a drunken driving charge.
Maricopa County sheriff's Deputy Lindsey Smith says Barkley reported to Tent City on Saturday morning. She did not respond to further requests for information.
It's unclear whether Barkley is being housed separately from other inmates in the tents.
The 45-year-old basketball great pleaded guilty last month to two misdemeanour DUI charges stemming from his Dec. 31 arrest shortly after leaving a Scottsdale nightclub and failing a field sobriety test.
A message left with Barkley's lawyer was not immediately returned Saturday morning.
Barkley said last month that he made a mistake and just has "to take the beatdown."

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
