Limbaugh will not be charged over Viagra found in his possession
Palm Beach Post Staff Report
Wednesday, July 05, 2006
The State Attorney's Office said today that it will not file charges against conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh for possessing a bottle of Viagra prescribed to his doctor.
Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours last week at Palm Beach International Airport after customs agents found the pills in his luggage.
Chief Assistant State Attorney Paul H. Zacks wrote in memo that Dr. Steven Strumwasser agreed to have his name on the label to avoid "potentially embarrassing publicity" for Limbaugh.
Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction.
"Thus, the medication contained in the subject pill bottle was legitimately prescribed to the suspect by his physician," Zacks wrote in the memo.
His office plans to turn over a copy of Limbaugh's files to officials in Miami-Dade County to investigate the mislabeling on the pill bottle.
A copy also will be sent to the Department of Professional Regulation and the Department of Health.
Limbaugh, 55, arrived on a private plane from the Dominican Republic last Monday afternoon.
I thought the armchair lawyers on this board said this was illegal??? :]
