Barkely will take leave of absance

[Pugz]

Charles Barkley is taking a leave of absence from TNT, after police said he was legally drunk when arrested on Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving.

Test results show Barkley had a blood-alcohol level at .149, nearly twice the legal limit of .08 in the state of Arizona.

No return date has been set for Barkley.

"I have spoken with Charles Barkley regarding the incident. .. and I understand he has hired a lawyer to represent him regarding this matter," said David Levy, president of TNT Sports, in a statement. "When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understands the significance of the situation. This is an important time for Charles as he deals with the legal and personal issues that confront him. Charles is a valued part of the Turner Sports organization and we are concerned for his well-being."
