The former Navy SEAL who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden was arrested in Texas this week.

Robert J. O’Neill, 47, was booked Wednesday in Frisco and slapped with a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication, although jail records listed only the assault charge, The Dallas Morning News reported.

Frisco police declined to release more information Friday about the arrest.

O’Neill was released the same day on a $3,500 bond.

O’Neill had been in town to record a podcast at a local cigar lounge.

He did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.

A former SEAL Team 6 member, O’Neill came to wide public prominence after he took credit for firing the shots that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden during a covert raid in 2011.

O’Neill recounted the story in his 2017 memoir “The Operator.”

The United States government has never confirmed or denied the story.

O’Neill’s Texas bust is far from his first run-in with controversy.

This is why military recruitment and enlistment is down.

I may have to agree with you. I did two tours in Iraq and when you come back, they tell you you can’t talk about anything for 10 years. So how is this guy able to talk about killing bin Laden if he actually did it . I believe if he really did, he would’ve been arrested for talking about it

The fact that he discussed the specific Seal Team and their relationship with the classified C2 HQs is “CodeWord”material and also classified. O’Neal should have been Courts-Marshaled over that disclosure.

Among the Submariner community, it is understood that people who talk shit about where they were and what they did, weren’t there and didn’t do anything. The job is to carry out the assigned mission, and keep your mouth shut...period.

Baloney. They aren’t gonna arrest him. The secret squirrel rules are mostly to scare people into not talking. They were fine with it. They were mad he wrote a book and violated their code.

You see, in SEAL unit pre-mission briefings, they specify who gets the book and movie rights. That’s as opposed to a Delta mission. They actually don’t talk.

Just kidding about the mission brief. My SF buddy likes that joke. But no, even Obama wouldn’t dare arrest the man who killed Osama.

former Navy SEAL who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden

*Claims". EFF YOU, New York Times! I personally know O'Neill AND his lovely wife - and the accusations of him perpetrating some "stolen valor" is ignorant and revealing of little proggy minds. It's especially disappointing to see intellectually lazy blather from the pathetic few at FR who agree With them (although their reputations are such that it should be no shock).

I'll put up Rob O'Neill's integrity against anyone here. Disgusting!

If he killed Obama bin Laden, he should get a pass.
No need for a “get out of jail card,” a lifetime pass for, you know, stuff that he is good at doing.... KILLIN THE SCMBAGS.
