It appears our favorite pill-popping right winger is back in the news with new meds. After illegally procuring multiple orders of OxyContin, Limbaugh was detained yesterday at Palm Beach Airport, following discovery of a bottle of Viagra in his possession without a prescription.
Limbaugh's luggage was examined by Customs after he returned from the Dominican Republic on his private plane. Authorities confiscated Limbaugh's drugs and released him without charges. Those same authorities do plan to report the incident to the state attorney's office.
Limbaugh could be facing a second-degree misdemeanor for this violation. More after the jump.
It was just last month that Limbaugh reached a deal with prosecutors for his "doctor shopping" charges, under which he filled multiple prescriptions for OxyContin. Under the deal, the charge would be dismissed after 18 months if he maintains a court-prescribed drug testing and rehabilitation. What is unclear is how new charges like this could affect his plea deal.
