According to a police report, former NBA star Charles Barkley told police he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to receive oral sex from a female passenger, the Arizona Republic reported.

The 11-time All-Star was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI. According to the newspaper, police Officer Pete Smith, who was in an unmarked patrol car, pulled Barkley's SUV over after it allegedly rolled through a stop sign at about 10 mph.

In a statement to The Associated Press, Barkley said he was "disappointed that I put myself in that situation. The Scottsdale police were fantastic. Now it is a legal matter and I will not comment any further as it is a legal matter."

According to the police report, Barkley had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol, the newspaper reported. The former Phoenix Suns player allegedly admitted to Smith that he had been drinking and Barkley failed a field sobriety test. According to the Arizona Republic, Barkley refused to take a breathalyzer but did submit to a blood test.

The newspaper reported that Barkley told police while he was being processed that he was "going to drive around the corner" and get oral sex. Barkley also reportedly offered to tattoo an employee's name on his rear end if it would get him out of the DUI.
