A former Navy Seal who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden has been arrested in Texas.
Robert J. O’Neill, 47, was reportedly booked Wednesday in Frisco, Texas with misdemeanour charges of assault causing bodily injury and public intoxication.
He was released on the same day after paying a $3,500 bond, the Dallas Morning News reported. O’Neill, who wrote a memoir about his military service and has received several military honours, was in Frisco to record a podcast.
The US government never confirmed nor denied his claim about killing bin Laden. In the past, he faced controversy for not wearing a face mask on a flight during the Covid-19 pandemic.
