The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that family...
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said.
John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin's Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade.
The nephew of President Bush was released on $2,500 bond for the resisting arrest charge, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said.
Wade said he had no further details about the charges.
Gov. Bush and his wife Columba appeared Friday evening at a museum reception in Miami.
"My son's doing fine. It's a private matter. We will support him. We're sad for him. But I'm not going to discuss it on the public square with 30 cameras," the governor told reporters.
It's not the first time Florida's first family has experienced legal problems with one of their children.
Noelle Bush, the governor's daughter, was arrested in January 2002 and accused of trying to pass a fraudulent prescription at a pharmacy to obtain the anti--anxiety drug Xanax. She completed a drug rehabilitation program in August 2003 and a judge dismissed the drug charges against her.
Full Version: Yet another of Jeb Bush's children arrested
The Bushes are the new Kennedys. Holidays must be a blast with these folks!
Drug and alcohol abuse seem to be a family trait and tradition!
Hell, I'd be doing drugs and drinking heavily if my Dad was Jeb, Uncle was "W", and Granny was "Barbara".

I wonder if Barbara thinks he should go to prison. It actually might work out very well for him.
Indeed, what is it with the Bushs' and booze.??
Notice that the article said nothing about Noelle Bush's possession of CRACK COCAINE! Sheesh! Why did the article leave that part out? Why are they always protecting these people???
Black Sheep: Noelle Bush
9 Sep 2002 \"One of the women here was caught buying crack cocaine tonight. And a lot of the women are upset because she's been caught about five times. And we want something done because our children are here, and they just keep letting it slip under the counter and carpet... She does this all the time and she gets out of it because she's the governor's daughter. But we're sick of it here 'cause we have to do what's right, but she gets treated like some kind of princess. And everybody's tired of it, you know. We're just trying to get our lives together, and this girl's bringing drugs on property.\" Transcript, Orlando Police Department, receiving an anonymous call from within the Center for Drug-Free Living, where Noelle Bush is currently in rehab.

Elias prepares a written statement to this effect, but supervisor Vilma Accison orders her to stop talking to police, and to destroy the document. Lacking the document or cooperation, police were unable to make an arrest.
16 Sep 2002 \"While Noelle has been given every break in the book -- and then some -- her father has made it harder for others in her position to get the help they need by cutting the budgets of drug treatment and drug court programs in his state. He has also actively opposed a proposed ballot initiative that would send an estimated 10,000 non-violent drug offenders into treatment instead of jail.\" Arianna Huffington.
30 Sep 2002 A judge blocks police from questioning employees that found the crack cocaine in Noelle's shoe earlier in the month, citing privacy laws. Father Jeb Bush expresses pleasure at the court's decision.

Nah, just more good old Bush family values. Wonder where this guy comes in the family line of succession to the presidency.

Seems like I remember a story a few years back of one of the sons getting caught getting a BJ in a mall parking lot in Talahassee, but they have not mentioned that one lately...
MiamiSpartan, it wasn't a BJ; it was some serious underaged intercourse.
And don't forget Mrs. Bush's little customs issue where she lied about all those European garments she "forgot" she was bringing into the country.
Family values indeed!

Jeb should declare his family a disaster area.
Gotta love those Bush family values - drunks, liars, STD's and crack whores.

And don't forget their upstanding uncle Neil... You've raised a fine bunch, there, Barbara -- a fine bunch of overprivileged trailer trash.

This is the same kid arrested here in Austin last week. He is also the one who was rumored to have been filmed by Guys Gone Wild in 2004 and later had his signed release torn up.

Here's young John Ellis \"Wilding\" Bush. He doesn't really look like any of them, not even his crackhead sister or his breaking-and-entering older, very handsome brother "P." Hmmm.....
He's actually not bad looking. But just knowing he's a Bush ruins it all.

I hate to admit, he is kind of hot. He should, however, learn to take a better mug shot. Can't he at least smile? Somehow, I think he is going to get plenty of chances to hone that mugshot skill.
Am I the only one who thinks he looks somewhat like Eric Rudolph?
Maybe his sister could give him some tips on how to take a better mugshot.

I thought he looked like a potential seriel killer, now I know who he reminded me of.

Didnt he try to run into Terri Schiavo's hospital room with a bottle of gin?
Yeah, but it was empty by the time he got into the room. He said she looked pissed so he knew she was still alive.
