Drunken driving charges have been filed by authorities in Montana against the former Navy SEAL who claims to have pulled the trigger on the gun that killed the most infamous terrorist in the history of the modern world — Osama bin Laden.

This from the Associated Press:

Butte-Silver Bow County Undersheriff George Skuletich says officers found Robert O’Neill asleep early Friday in a running car parked at a convenience store in his hometown of Butte.

Skuletich says the 39-year-old O’Neill was confused and appeared to be intoxicated when officers woke him up.

The officers took him to jail after he failed a field sobriety test. They charged him when he refused a breathalyzer test. He was released after posting a $685 bond.

Because he was in the car, clearly intoxicated, and the car was running, the cops have the right to charge him with such a crime. Hard to argue against the fact that he arrived at the convenient store under the influence of alcohol (or other substances) not long before he fell asleep at the wheel in the parked vehicle.
