Rand Paul's Son Arrested at NC Airport

 The 19-year-old son of Sen. Rand Paul and grandson of former presidential candidate Ron Paul was arrested Saturday morning for allegedly being intoxicated at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.

William Hilton Paul arrived in Charlotte, N.C., on a U.S. Airways flight from Lexington, Ky., where his father is a U.S. senator.

Paul was intoxicated when he arrived at the airport and said "he was possibly served alcohol on the flight."

The teenager was arrested by police and charged with three misdemeanors: underage consumption, disorderly conduct, and being intoxicated and disruptive.

Rand Paul's Communications Director released a statement asking for "privacy and respect" regarding the incident.

"Sen. Paul is a national public figure and subject to scrutiny in the public arena, however, as many parents with teenagers would understand, his family should be afforded the privacy and respect they deserve in a situation such as this," the statement said.

The senator, who was recently appointed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was scheduled to travel to Israel Sunday evening for meetings with Israeli Officials.

In RON PAUL's America, there's nothing in the Constitution about being drunk in public.  Kid's gonna be doing some worshiping at the porcelain alter tonight.
