The Austin Statesman reports:
Austin-based conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was booked into the Travis County Jail on a charge of driving while intoxicated just after midnight Tuesday, the Travis County sheriff’s office said. Jones, 46, was booked at 12:37 a.m., said Kristen Dark, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. The driving while intoxicated charge is a class B misdemeanor, she said. His bail was set at $3,000 but he was released on bond at 4:11 a.m., Dark said.
Alex Jones is on air saying that he was arrested for a DUI last night, he is professing his innocence.

Jones showed some paperwork showing he was tested at just under .08 — in Texas you can still be charged with operating while intoxicated if you are under the limit but still impaired. Jones blamed his arrest on the fact he was in a hot tub earlier in the evening.
