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.

It was a security guard who was trying to help him, after he fell asleep in a bar. For his trouble, O’Neill allegedly called him an effing n__ger and assaulted the man.
I kinda figured we might never know the true story. In the old days, most normal people outside the combat arms in the military had quite literally never even HEARD of a SEAL.
It really was quiet.
“R. O. fits into that category, BIG TIME.”
Then I’m glad I never bought his book and fattened his wallet!
SEALs were essentially a classified unit right through the VN era.
Now it’s movies, TV shows, books, speaking tours....
SHUT UP!
My only tat is ....... O+

It’s two “stand alone” chapters from the new novel I’m writing.

Cool that you know him
He and his wife, Jess, are part of our investor entrepreneur group. I only connected because I've worked with a few of his team on other tv projects. They're both super easy to talk with. I think you'd like them, SF!
Wow, sounds awesome
