Sounds like the same crew in Palm Beach County from Gore 2000 is at work feeding the police embarassing info about Gov. Bush's daughter.

And who is providing Florida with confidential juvenille records??

[SlickWillard]

The woman, then 18

It looks like she just made the cutoff.

If the Dems aren't putting the elbow grease into this one, then there's a really big computer somewhere keeping all this info on a national basis.

[Green]

If it is a juvenile record, would it even apply as a prior offense?

[07055]

Everybody lies about their criminal background.

Besides, I heard that the daughter of a governor in the 1800s lied about an offense without being punished, so this shouldn't count against Noelle either.

Lying about your past simply doesn't rise to the level of wrongdoing. (sarcasm off)

[1Old Pro]

Regardless of the Dem dirt digging program, this girl needs a spanking.

[11th Earl of Mar]

$305.00 fine for shoplifting underwear at a JC Penney store.

Who would steal underwear from JC Penny? That would be like getting arrested for stealing a Hundai.

[Brilliant]

Lucky for her, the Florida Supreme Court just struck down the three strikes and you're out law in Florida. She'd only have one left. And it's good timing. You can bet that if she'd been arrested before the Court handed down its opinion, they'd have ruled the other way.

[mountaineer]

Because of the profile of this case, this will we checked out.

Still waiting for the translation of this sentence.

BTW, in some states, e.g., Missouri, juvenile status ends when a kid turns 17, not 18; I don't know about Arizona, though.

[tiki]

This would be a hard call to make. Are they doing this because of politics or would anyone in the same position be held to the same standards?

I feel for this young woman and I'm glad she got caught because that might be the first step in her recovery.

[ladyjane]

Shoplifting, kicking in doors, calling in prescription drugs--these are not classy things. Trying to bring $20,000 worth of designer clothes and jewelry into this country without declaring it is not classy. It's not a Democratic plot. It's bad behavior, period. Poppy and Barbara must be mortified.

[Mo1]

Aside from the identical name and birth date, records were not clear whether the woman in Arizona was the governor's daughter. Their Social Security numbers don't match.

Sounds like the Dems are searching for ANY dirt they can find ..

[NC_Libertarian]

There is a five year prison sentence for the felony prescription drug fraud charge (I don't know if it's mandatory, many drug crimes do cary mandatory minimums).

[ZOOKER]

Why is there doubt that this is the same woman?

If she was busted, booked and convicted in AZ, wasn't she fingerprinted?

Were no mug shots taken?

I'm highly suspicious when available facts are not made available.

[dano1]

Let's pray for her, her family, and all families that are suffering from the problems of alcohol and drug abuse.

[lawdude]

"And who is providing Florida with confidential juvenille records??"

Eighteen years old is NOT juvenile under the law of Arizona!

[bushfamfan]

Wow. This is really disturbing. I've seen Noelle at different events with the family, but she wasn't at last yrs. Presidential Inaugural? Seems like she's got a lot of problems and it's sad. She's going to have to answer for it however. She should know better.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

It's starting to look like that Florida police department should be subject to an outside investigation.The only thing we know for now is that they can't count.

[D2BAH]

U R absolutely correct. I'm right near West Palm, and that leftwing fishwrapper, The Palm Bitch Putz is loaded with liberal editors and columnists. Their selection of material and the slant given their heads and rewrites present as anti-GOP a view as you could ask for. You can count on their "choosing and reprinting" the daily pro-Demoncrap stuff from NY Slimes, Wash. Compost and the other leftist rags (which most of them ARE) to cast the most negative possible light on Republicans and any and all of the Bushes. They still have their noses up both klintoons' arses, as well as that of old quivering Janet the "Collapsing Cow" Reno, whom I expect they will endorse for Gov. THE MEDIA REMAIN OUR WORST ENEMY.

[Pushi]

Could some other student at the school been arrested and misrepresented herself to be the Bush girl?

[ken21]

u hafta wonder what's wrong w someone who grew up w every opportunity in life, but ends up being a loser.

[Bonaparte]

Verde Valley School (yep, the address matches) looks like a pricey private high school for the kids of affluent hippies. IOW, drugs are probably part of the "student culture." This may have been where NB started using drugs.
