Charles Barkley will serve five days in jail after pleading guilty to drunken-driving charges in Scottsdale, Arizona on Monday.

Barkley was arrested on December 31st.  He had a blood-alcohol level of .149 percent, way above the legal limit of .08 percent in Arizona.

Barkley took a leave of absence from his job as a TNT basketball analyst to deal with the issue, but returned last Thursday and aplogized for his mistakes.

"I think that a DUI is unacceptable," Barkley said, "That can't happen and I've got to challenge other people, not just celebrities or jocks.  You have to really think before getting behind the wheel after you've been drinking."

Along with serving five days in jail, Barkley must participate in an alcohol awareness program.
