Limbaugh was not to be arrested for any infraction for 18 months in exchange for authorities deferring a charge

Gee...the NYTimes really does know everything.....I dind't know Rush was arrested. Idiots.

The NYT is treating "the diversion deal" like probation (after conviction and finding of guilt). There is more leeway in a "deal", and yes he did not get arrested, did not commit a crime, did not violate alaw, etc.
