Prosecutors closing the case against Charles Barkley

By Jeff German · May 21, 2008 · 2:20 PM

Charles Barkley wired an additional $40,000 today to the Clark County district attorney's bad check unit, effectively putting an end to his $400,000 gambling debt dispute with Wynn Las Vegas.

The district attorney's office said it would now move to close a criminal case against the former NBA star.

The Wynn received a $400,000 cashiers check from Barkley on Tuesday.

    The previous article stated:

    "Zadrowski, who oversees the unit, said Barkley also still owes $100 in bank processing fees, as well as $50 for a bad check course, run by the district attorney’s office, that Barkley must complete before the case will be dismissed."

    Will the DA's office overlook this because of Mr. Barkley's celebrity status?
