Charles Barkley recently returned to work on TNT and apologized for drinking and driving earlier this month. Now, after answering to the public, this week he's answering to the law. Barkley plead guilty to two counts of driving under the influence and pleaded "responsible" for running a stop sign in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Dec. 31.

Barkley was sentenced to 10 days in jail but will only have to serve five days if he completes an alcohol education program. He was also fined $2,000. Barkley will begin his sentence on March 21, but there is no word on which Arizona jail he will do his time in.

"Clearly, I made a mistake drinking and driving. And I'm getting penalized for that, and rightfully so," Barkley told a Florida paper earlier this month. "Drinking and driving is a very serious thing. It was stupid, and it was 100 percent my fault.''
