BEDFORD Co., Va. (WSET) -- A few days after resigning as Liberty University's president, Jerry Falwell Jr. was injured in a fall after drinking, according to a 911 call obtained by WSET.
According to the 911 call, on Sunday, Aug. 30, Falwell was reportedly injured and his wife, Becki Falwell, called 911 to report he had fallen down the stairs and was bleeding.
"It was night time and he fell from the stairs and there's a lot of blood right now," Becki told the Bedford County dispatcher.
According to the call, Becki said that Falwell had been drinking but wouldn't say if he was "drinking heavily" when the dispatcher asked.
“I’m not going to answer that question,” she said.
When the dispatcher restated the question, stating she was just trying to help them, Becki said he may have had "just a little bit."
When the dispatcher asked for her name, Becki said, “the more I tell you, the name, the more you’re going to understand why we’re not talking to you right now, I'm sorry."
Falwell resigned Monday, Aug. 24. after reports said his wife had a sexual relationship with another man.
He said the affair only lasted for a short time and the two reconciled quickly. Falwell claims the affair sent him into a depression he said was “like living on a roller coaster.”
On Aug. 31, Liberty’s board of trustees announced an investigation of Falwell's tenure as president. That same day Bedford County dispatchers received a 911 call from Becki.
Becki said Falwell didn't want to go to the hospital because he was being stubborn. She stated he was bleeding from the head, ear, and nose.
According to a dispatch log obtained by ABC13, the first responder who went to the Falwells' home that night reported Falwell had cuts on his face and slurred speech.
The log said the cuts were reportedly from a trash can that had empty alcohol containers in it.
A family friend of the Falwells told ABC13 that alcohol was not a factor in the fall.
They say Jerry lost his footing on steps inside the home and sustained a bad cut to the face. Becki tended to the wound and they both went to bed.
The family friend adds that a few hours later, Jerry woke up with blood all over his face, pillow, and sheets.
Out of an abundance of caution, Becki called 911 for an ambulance. The family friend notes that under pressure from the dispatcher, she noted that Jerry had consumed alcohol, but he only had some wine after the fall to help relax.
The family friend adds that Jerry only received a bandage for his cuts and did not go to the hospital.
“fell from the stairs”
Lott and the pillar of salt.
I believe they are good people that went into the 'feel good' sins of the humans, and are now paying the human price...public humiliation.
If they keep it up, they will pay a bigger price.
He knew his audience - he is posing in a tawdry photo and he is apologizing for having a glass of what could be an alcoholic beverage, heaven forbid!
drinking, pilling, smoking, whoring...
I’ll say is a generic point; it’s very tough to be the son of a preacher
Furthermore , it’s very tough to be the son of a very widely known and on television preacher
That being said , you are given this life from God - and it’s a blessing
and if you have rationality and commonsense ( not a mentally deficient ) you make decisions in this life. and you were responsible for those decisions. And must live with the consequences of those decisions
Marriage is a very serious matter and is a lifetime commitment
It is in the Bible for a reason
and it is the fundamental building block of all of the worlds society
Our daughter did first communion today :)

Intervention time. He’s a mess.
Somebody had to say that. Ok good, now it's said.
Sounds like he's in the belly of the beast. Been there. If he makes it out, he may actually understand something. Prayers for him.
Congratulations! Lovely church, too.
This guy sounds like a real mess. His wife sounds even worse.
He is an idiot & hypocrite, but I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.
The most shocking thing about this whole sordid mess was learning that the wife screwing the pool boy was a real thing. I thought this only happened in porn films and letters to Penthouse.

Thank You very much Tax-chick,
was a Great Day!
LOL hilarious!
My youngest had her First Communion in July.
There but by the grace of God go I? SiriusLee, if that’s your kick then you are a homo.
Another FacePalm moment.
Good Lord, what embarrassment.
Hope he turns back to God.
“Sounds like Satan found an open window to me”
I think you’re right about that. Satan doesn’t need to hound and attack people who aren’t living a good life; he’s already got them. He finds well-known people who have good Christian testimonies, and then he ... Takes. Them. DOWN. What better way is there to compromise Christians, and manipulate the world’s view of them?
“it’s very tough to be the son of a preacher”
Or a daughter of a preacher. Not fun.
