Well, this is big time.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - 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.

While I don't agree that medical records should be released for trivial purposes or without warrant, I also think that there needs to be mechanisms in place to handle alleged "doctor shopping" and prescription-pill related crimes. Do you know how much a single Oxycontin pill goes for on the streets?

Random drug tests, no guns for Limbaugh
Details emerge of commentator's deal with prosecutors

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Rush Limbaugh must pass random drug tests for the next 18 months to satisfy an agreement filed Monday that will lead to dismissal of a prescription fraud charge if he stays out of trouble.

The conservative commentator also must continue treatment for his addiction and cannot own a gun, according to details of the deal made public Monday. And the agreement says he "will refrain from any violation of any law."

People who peddle these kinds of pills suck. Especially those who receive medication through government socialist programs.
 
He got his thru "legal sources"...doctor shopped till he found one who wouuld write the prescription...even had his housekeeper go buy them...no allegations of him buying them from "illegal" sources...just illegally obtained from legal sources...

So it's not Rush's fault that he went around to several doctors getting multiple prescriptions, but the fault of government programs?

Rush was big enough to take personal responsibility for his own actions - his rabid fans however, can't stop spinning/apologizing. It's clinical I tell you. 😀

I know this is gonna get some unwanted relies but wth. When my mom retired she went to work for a retailer. Something to get her out of the house and such, ya know?

One day when she was walking through a stockroom someone dropped a 27 inch tv on her and broke some crap in her back. Being much older instead of recovering its just getting worse.

No he wasn't. He was caught. And then he plea bargained. And his on air "apology" blamed the medicine he was taking was addictive. Yet many other people who took the same medicine didn't buy them illegaly by the thousands.
