Straight out of Wikipedia:
On May 19, 1995, O'Rourke and his friends sneaked under the fence at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) physical plant, and were arrested by the UTEP police for burglary. He stayed in jail overnight and posted bail the following day. He was initially charged with burglary, but UTEP decided not to press charges and prosecutors dropped the charges against O'Rourke and his friends in February 1996.[27][28][29]
O'Rourke was arrested for driving while intoxicated after a car crash on September 27, 1998, at 3:00 AM on Interstate 10 in Anthony, Texas. The charges were dismissed in October 1999 after he completed a court-recommended DWI program.[25][28][29][30] In response to attacks from a political opponent in 2005, O'Rourke said, "I've been open about it since the very beginning. I have owned up to it and I have taken responsibility for it."[27] He apologized and said he was "grateful for the second chance."[31]
So he had a couple of brushes with the law... that we know about. And it got me to thinking after I saw this photo.
He good pass for a Kennedy. I wonder if he possesses any of their other traits? If so, somewhere along the run to the WH someone's bound to get Mary Jo Kopechned or Marilyn Monroed.
