Well... this isn't good. Apparently Josh Booty ran afoul of the law in Orange County. This is a sticky wicket for the local media... and obviously, a rough situation for Josh. It's a D-U-I, a serious offense, but not exactly "lede material". However, when factoring in the "Taser'ing", the situation ratchets up a few notches.
I know Josh pretty well and have always gotten along with him. But the facts are the facts and part of my job is to get the facts, good or bad, to the viewers in the best way I know.
Simply, if Josh HAD NOT been arrested for D.U.I. and HAD NOT become "belligerent" and HAD NOT been tasered... Josh Booty would not be in the news.
