Radio host Rush Limbaugh turned himself in to authorities on a warrant for fraud. Limbaugh was photographed, fingerprinted and released on $3,000 bail.
The porcine, hypocritic chatterbox reached a settlement with Florida prosecutors in a fraud case involving prescription painkillers. Declaring his innocence, Limbaugh
"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.
Prosecutors accused Limbaugh of "doctor shopping," or illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions, after learning that he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors, in six months.
As a primary condition of the dismissal, Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past 2½ years.
