He was dunking under the influence.

When a Gilbert Police Department officer asked him what his hurry was, Barkley replied: "You want the truth?" and then said he "was gonna drive around the corner" for a sexual encounter, according to Thesmokinggun.com, which posted a copy of the police report online.

Barkley, a television commentator for NBA games, said he had seen the woman a week earlier.

The Smoking Gun also reports that Barkley was good-natured about the bust, joking with police.

At one point, he told the arresting officer "I'll tattoo your name on my --" if he could get Barkley out of the DUI charge.

When I asked the question "Where were you going?' He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat. He asked me to admit that she was "hot." He asked me, "You want the truth?" When I told him I did he said, "I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job." He then explained that she had given him a "blow job" one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life.
