WEST PALM BEACH — Rush Limbaugh was arrested Friday on prescription drug charges, law enforcement officials said.
Limbaugh turned himself in to authorities on a warrant issued by the State Attorney's Office, said Teri Barbera, a spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office.
The conservative radio commentator came into the jail at about 4 p.m. with his attorney Roy Black and bonded out an hour later on a $3,000 bail, Barbera said.
The warrant was for fraud to conceal information to obtain prescription, Barbera said.
Black said his client and authorities reached a settlement on a single count charge of doctor shopping filed Friday by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months.
...wait, I'm not quite sure I'm getting this 'cause all we have is Black's spin.
...ah, ok, Black is spinning here I think. There are two charges (one settled) I think. They reached a settlement on what I assume is the more serious doctor shoppping charge, but the fraud charge is still there.
