Barkley's Vegas debt paid, case closed

 
A Clark County prosecutor says Charles Barkley is off the legal hook and the case on his $400,000 gambling debt is closed. Chief Deputy District Attorney Bernie Zadrowski said on Friday that the retired NBA star sent a $40,000 check to pay statutory and bad check processing fees. Earlier this week, Barkley paid $400,000 to Wynn Las Vegas after the resort filed a May 14 civil complaint in Nevada state court. [link]
