Nephew of Bush arrested for intoxication
The youngest son of Florida Governor Jeb Bush and the nephew of President George W. Bush has been arrested in Austin, Texas, on charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest, The Austin American-Statesman reported yesterday.
Citing police officials, the newspaper said John Ellis Bush, 21, was taken into custody around 2:30 am Friday in the downtown entertainment district.
Bail was set at 2,500 dollars, but he was released on his own recognizance, meaning he must pay the 2,500 dollars if he doesn't appear for court, the report said.

"Subject further resisted by pushing back with his body as he was restrained at the transport van," the document said, according to The Statesman.
