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.

That's too bad! Welcome to the law! Everyone who takes money under the table to propagandize an issue from the federal goverment will be found out. This means you.
Ha! this story reminded me to make my donation for his fundraiser! $60! Anyone else want to match?
:o)
Here comes Greta with Ray Black....stay tuned!
How could they get such a simple story wrong unless they had a motive to intentionally get it wrong. I smell a rat.
WOAH!
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!
I spend some time on the phone and come back to THIS?
I anted up $100~
The actions of the prosecutor in this case were motivated only by partisan politics. Therefore this joke of a prosecutor has forfeited any claim to moral authority, and any arrest is fraudulent and invalid.
Enjoy your t-shirt! ;)
I used to listen to O'Reilly religiously. I never had time to watch him on the TV. I thought that he was brilliant because he was saying the things I was thinking. And then he had that lawsuit thrown at him. I read the testimony of his former producer, and then I realized that he was a little "friendly" or whatever to his female analysts; Ms. Weil for example. I now listen to Prager or Rush at lunchtime.
There goes your federal bribe. Oops, I mean fuel rebate.
Couldn't be prouder of making the contribution.
Helping saving a life is more important than paying 1/2 of what drivers in Europe and the Pacific Rim are paying.
GOD BLESS RUSH, AND PLEASE KEEP HIM ON LOAN TO US FOR A LONG TIME.
ZOT!!
This is almost funny.
Did the media report the $250,000 donation that Rush gave to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society today? He had his yearly pledge drive on the show today. I guess that isn't big news to the drive by media types. It's big news to me though, having just been diagnosed with leukemia about a month ago. (Thank you Rush for your generosity)...
Maybe it would be news if he donated his used underwear to charity like Bill Clinton did.. Ya think?
LOL! AMEN TO THAT!
It is the epitome of paying for one's own witch hunt!
they just never stop throwing their own credibility over the cliff.......
I am sick of the ignoring the REAL sacandals...like Able Danger, Barrett Report, and stealing documents like Sandy Burgler.....and then witch hunts like Plame and Rush doctor shopping....
OY!
