Charles Barkley Released from Jail

Charles Barkley made a fast break after spending three days in the Tent City Jail. The former Phoenix Suns basketball player and current TNT sports host, was sentenced to ten days in jail following a no contest plea to driving under the influence in Arizona. That was reduced to three days after he agreed to attend alcohol counseling. Barkley was released Monday morning shortly before 8:00.

Barkley, who reported to jail on Saturday, was kept in a separate tent from the general inmate population and he had his meals brought to him. He was also released each day between 8:00am and 8:00 pm on work furlough. While the Tent City Jail in Maricopa County is notorious for making inmates wear pink jump suits, Sir Charles avoided such attire during his stay.
