Marco Rubio once "arrested for drinking beer in public park" By Robert Tait, Los Angeles 3:23AM GMT 22 Jan 2016

Marco Rubio, the Republican presidential contender who has been touted as a possible choice of the party's "establishment", was once arrested in a Miami park notorious for gang violence, drug-dealing and prostitution, a newspaper profile has revealed.

He was detained along with two friends while going through a wayward late teenage phase for drinking alcohol in his home city's Alice C Wainwright Park after it had been closed to the public for the night.

Mr Rubio, a United States senator for Florida, was not charged after the arrest and the case was eventually dismissed.

Todd Harris, a spokesman for the candidate, said he had been arrested for breaking a municipal code by drinking beer but added that Mr Rubio had not been held in custody or appeared in court.

But the May 1990 incident - which occurred five days before his 19th birthday - marked an important turning point in Mr Rubio's development, according to an investigation by the Washington Post, which uncovered the episode.

Robert Tait (author) get a freaking life, have you nothing else to do?

I am not a Rubio supporter and I am no longer a drinker of adult beverages. But who cares!

Was he getting a BJ from an Intern at the time?

Inquiring minds need to know.

I don’t view this as a hit piece at all. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if we find it was leaked by the Rubio camp. They’re trying to man him up a little more.

Rubio scandal? Raping women? Maybe he spent some time on Pedo Island? Did he text top secret documents to his pals from Starbucks? Maybe he killed some Navy Seals? Sold national security secrets to China? What was his scandal?

Drinking a beer in the park? What? Drinking beer in the park??

Forget this. Do NOT forget the affairs paid for with Republican party credit cards. This is a big deal.

I am a 100% Cruzman but this is just crap. If this is the worse thing they have against Rubio I am worried about what the hell is wrong with him at 18 years old. I did a lot worse but Go Ted Cruz.

As long as he wasn’t drinking Beck beer. That can be bad for your mental health

I can’t stand Rubio....but come on....most of us did stupid things as teenagers.

This is a non-story.

Oh. My. God.

How terrible.

In my teenage wayward years, we smoked pot, drag raced, stayed out past curfew, ogled girls, set off firecrackers, drank beer and moonshine......

I wonder what penalties there are for being rowdy and full of testosterone.

How true!

My first time to New Orleans, we were walking down Bourbon Street and they were literally shoving cups of beer into our hands. Of course, we did walk nearly the entire street, turned around and skeedaddled back when we hit the darkened section with all the rainbow flags < shudder > and headed back to the freebie spots and frequented them.
