I hear Rush Limbaugh was just arrested. Hopefully I'll get confirmation shortly.
Update: Ok, got it via this diary at Daily Kos. CBS4 in Florida reports:
Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.
Limbaugh entered a plea deal back in April in a previous case where his charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions was dropped under the condition he continue undergoing treatment for addiction.
Limbaugh had admitted to being addicted to pain killers on his radio program and had entered a rehabilitation program prior to that arrest.
Is that too much information? Yeah, I thought so too.
Update again: He wasn't arrested, but there's something going on.
Update, yet again: Here's a statement from his lawyer:
Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, issued the following statement today in response to several inquiries by the media:That was fast.While going through routine Customs inspection of luggage at Palm Beach International Airport upon his return from an international trip, Rush Limbaugh was detained by customs agents after they noticed a non-narcotic prescription drug, which had been prescribed by Mr. Limbaugh's treating physician but labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes. After a brief interview, Mr. Limbaugh was permitted to continue on his journey.
