Rush Limbaugh Arrested

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Rush Limbaugh arrested on prescription fraud charges. It turns out it's for the same stuff in 2003 we knew about, but they found out a little more.

Limbaugh "was quickly released after posting $3,000 bond, jail officials said. Prosecutors alleged that Limbaugh violated the state's 'doctor shopping' law by getting four doctors to write overlapping prescriptions and failing to tell them about each other. Limbaugh, who pleaded not guilty, struck an agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office that calls for the charge to be dropped in 18 months provided that Limbaugh continues to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past 2 1/2 years and must refrain from breaking the law during that period, Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, said in a statement." He's also paying some fines.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. In Oct 2003, Limbaugh said "I want you to know I'm no role model", no kidding.
