SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ó Charles Barkley will serve time in jail after pleading guilty Monday to charges of driving drunk.
According to Scottsdale court records, the 45-year-old former NBA star pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges related to the same drunken driving arrest.
Barkley, who works as a TV analyst, is set to begin a five-day jail sentence on March 21. The Hall of Famer must pay more than $2,000 in fines and attend an alcohol treatment program. Under Arizona law, he’ll also be forced to install an ignition interlock device on his vehicles.

SAN FRANCISCO ó Barry Bonds’ personal trainer was ordered Monday to appear before a federal judge and say whether he’ll break his silence and testify at the slugger’s perjury trial.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston summoned Greg Anderson for the unusual hearing, scheduled for Wednesday.
Anderson is considered a vital witness for the government as it tries to prove Bonds lied to a grand jury investigating steroid use by athletes. Prosecutors said the trainer can directly link Bonds to three positive drug tests and other evidence collected during a September 2003 raid at the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which was at the center of the steroids probe.
