Election 2016: What Was Marco Rubio Arrested For At Age 18 In Miami?
Internation Business Times ^ | January 21, 2015 | Adam Lidgett

Before becoming a Florida senator or a 2016 Republican presidential hopeful, Marco Rubio was apparently just another kid caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. After a bad first year at college in Missouri, Rubio returned home to Miami shortly before the summer of 1990, when he was arrested in May at age 18 for being in a public park after it had closed for the night, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

The misdemeanor offense was eventually dismissed, and most of the documentation that led to the dismissal of charges has been destroyed by the Miami-Dade County court clerk's office. The police report didn't indicate there was any alcohol or drug activity going on. Police officials said it was commonplace at the time to dismiss minor offenses at the park. After the incident, Rubio packed his bags to start college classes at Santa Fe College, diving into his studies.

The apparent youthful indiscretion took place just a year after Rubio's brother-in-law was convicted for drug trafficking. Orlando Cicilia, who now works in real estate, was reported to be the "front man" in a massive cocaine ring, coordinating with buyers and organizing shipments, the Daily Mail reported.

Unlike his brother-in-law's arrest, Rubio's brush with the law has never been reported, and he hasn't talked about it during his campaigns. Rubio's campaign has said it was not a story even worth reporting.

Are you saying he’s gay? Because I could totally see it.

I'm not a Rubio supporter at all, but seeing gayness in an 18 year old staying too late in a park is really stretching. If every teenager who did stuff like this was gay, the human race would probably be extinct by now.

Haha, okay. Fair enough. Then again, I know too many gay 18-year-olds.

Well hasn’t the rumor always been that Clinton ran cocaine through Mena, Arkansas airport for Bush clan? Didn’t Bush recruit Rubio for Florida politics? Isn’t pay to play the Washington game? Does a compass point north?

I can’t stand Rubio and I have zero curiosity about this. The guy is 44 years old.

IIRC, Dick Cheney was many moons ago busted for fishing without a license. He was less upset about the fine than that the fish he’d caught were confiscated. (From “Fly Fishing with Darth Vader” - there’s some really funny stuff in there.)

“Are you saying he’s gay?”

There was a piece about this topic on InfoWars....not going to spread the link here, but there seems to be some smoke signals in the wind about Kid Marco...
