Austin-based conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was booked into the Travis County Jail on a charge of driving while intoxicated just after midnight Tuesday, the Travis County sheriff’s office said.

Jones, 46, was booked at 12:37 a.m., said Kristen Dark, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. The driving while intoxicated charge is a class B misdemeanor, she said.

His bail was set at $3,000 but he was released on bond at 4:11 a.m., Dark said.

“conspiracy theorist” - To be fair, couldn’t any of the MSM be labelled this? Especially concerning anything to do with coverage of Trump, the GOP, white people, Christians etc.

That isn’t the criteria. If you are driving erratically and you had any alcohol in your system you can still be charged with driving under the influence

The .08 is presumptive.... by state law that limit and above me and you driving while impaired no matter how you were driving

No that is the presumptive limit... in other words you have no defense unless you can prove the test incorrect

No. He has not been to court yet. Jones is not a lawyer. He does not understand the law. He is self serving as is Infowars

Evidently you don’t understand blowing below the 0.08 legal limit because of JDS.

Matt Bracken is an Infowars broadcaster.

If Alex Jones is so bad, why would Bracken have anything to do with him?

I know it’s hard, but you really don’t have to believe every lie Chuck Todd tells you. It’s not illegal.

Heh he’s no commie. I think he has roots in Austin. Also, being there gives him lots of opportunities to “engage” with leftists.
