Rush Limbaugh Detained


I just heard from Sean-Paul that Rush Limbaugh has been arrested coming in from the Dominican Republic for possession of prescription narcotics... without the prescription. More as we hear about it.

Clarification: I'm told here in the studio that he was only 'detained' but no one is completely sure what substance for which he was detained. More as I hear it, or Ian does. ~spk  Candy has a news report.

UPDATE: He has been released ~ AP

Update 3: All hail the great prophet TBogg.

(CBS4 News) WEST PALM BEACH 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.
