Press Release Source: Rush Limbaugh Reports Stating Rush Limbaugh Was Arrested Are Inaccurate; Limbaugh's Attorney Holds Press Conference at 8:00 pm Tonight
Friday April 28, 7:55 pm ET
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- A spokesman for Rush Limbaugh said some news reports that state Mr. Limbaugh was arrested are inaccurate.Separately, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black will hold a press conference at 8:00 pm this evening at the Marriott Hotel at 1001 Okeechobbee Road in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Mr. Black will discuss the agreement reached today with the State Attorney's Office whereby a single count charge of doctor shopping that was filed today by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months.
As previously announced, a primary condition of the dismissal, Mr. Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years. This is the same doctor under whose care Mr. Limbaugh has remained free of his addiction without relapse.
Mr. Black stated, "Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position. Accordingly, we filed today with the Court a plea of 'Not Guilty' to the charge filed by the State.
"As part of this agreement, Mr. Limbaugh also has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation. The agreement also provides that he must refrain from violating the law during the 18 month period, must pay $30 per month for the cost of "supervision" and comply with other similar provisions of the agreement.
"Mr. Limbaugh had intended to remain in treatment. Thus, we believe the outcome for him personally will be much as if he had fought the charge and won," he said.

So I guess OJ is innocent.
"After you lied to me about "being away from the forum for a couple of weeks"
LOL - Do I have to show you my passport now ?
But it appears that you still can't come up with straight answers ...
Much like the bogus polls in the 2004 election making Kerry the president, this is the first I heard of this whole thing. Ignoring the MSM is a great thing.
He sure as Hell not in jail.
He sure as Hell not in jail.
There is no such thing as outrageous tobacco litigation. Big tobacco execs should be in jail. There is nothing good about tobacco. Nothing.
AM wave propgation per watt of output is indeed very long range.
Not at all. I checked your posts in forum in the days following your hasty retreat. As to giving you straight answers; why give you something you know nothing about?
But, but... the media said he was arrested, just like they said those people were raped in the Superdome, and that Gore won, and that John Kerry could be trusted.....
Rush's victory started when the leftists attacked him re: this issue. I had stopped listening to him altogether up until this latest attempt to take him down by using his pain medication addiction (still a legal, prescribed drug, btw). I've been listening to him daily (once again) ever since. You can thank the brainless leftists for that. They really ARE their own worst enemy.
This is another Political prosecution/persecution.
If his name wasn't Rush Limbaugh, the authorities would've been explaining to someone how they have limited time and the courts are crowded, etc.
See-BS was touting the "Limbaugh Arrested: In BIG trouble" thing on Friday evening. Total lying scum.
Its a good thing Rush has essentially been cleared. This threatened his commercials for Subway.
Michael Savage is probably mad because he thought he could be number one. TOO BAD!!!
"Michael Savage is probably mad because he thought he could be number one. TOO BAD!!!"
He's got a more than Rush to knock off if he wants that.
you can't pardon for a crime when the charges are dropped and no criminal record.
At the end, rush has NO arrest record, NO criminal record.
The charges are going to be dropped. This is better than dismissed and the prosecutor has ALREADY consented to the charges being expunged from his record.
It was a MAJOR face saving effort for the prosecutor.
