TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) -- A daughter of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Tuesday after she allegedly tried to fill a false prescription at a pharmacy, Tallahassee, Florida, police said.
Noelle Bush was picked up by police and charged with fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance, a jail spokesman said.
Bush, in her early 20s, was released pending a court appearance. It was not immediately known if she had to post bail.
Bush and his wife released a statement on the incident.
"Columba and I are deeply saddened over an incident that occurred last night involving our daughter Noelle," the statement said.
"This is a very serious problem. Unfortunately, substance abuse is an issue confronting many families across our nation. We ask the public and the media to respect our family's privacy during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter. We will have no further comment on this issue. Thank you for your understanding."
On the other hand, the 700,000 untermensch sent to prison for pot possession each year just get their property seized, their families taken away and their asses sent to the anal rape factory. They need to be dealt with harshly! How else will we win the WAR!!!!
God, please help Noelle Bush and her family in this time of their deep and personally saddening need. Please protect them from the same rules that apply to the "taxpayer". How else can they be expected to continue Your work in perpetuating this deadly, hypocritical charade?
The media show the same deference, respect and sensitivity to anyone in the Bush family? Not bloody likely. Just note the number of DU vampires coming out to feed right on this very thread.
If this story is true, it is extremely sad. Stories like this are always extremely sad, because of the pain and suffering caused to all the other family members. Unfortunately, this particular story is DOUBLY sad, because it involves a family member of a sitting Republican governor with high approval ratings, who just so happens to be the brother of a sitting Republican president, who has SKY HIGH approval ratings...therefore, we know what's coming, and must prepare.
The media overreaction to this is a good place to start.
I just wish that the politicians would stop saying "DEEPLY SADDENED". Clinton said that when Buddy the dog died, and he said it a lot of other times. GWB has also used it. Think of another term, people.
