Yahoo News reports:
Robert O’Neill, the man who claims he fired the bullet that killed Osama Bin Laden, was arrested in Texas earlier this week. The former Navy SEAL was taken into custody in Frisco and hit with a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. O’Neill was released from jail on a $3,500 bond, and police gave no further details behind his arrest.
O’Neill offered no comment on the arrest, and it’s unclear if he had a lawyer to represent him. According to several social media posts, O’Neill was in town to record a podcast at a cigar lounge. This isn’t the first time O’Neill has gotten himself in trouble. In 2020, he was banned from Delta Airlines after refusing to wear a mask, and in 2016 he was arrested for drunk driving. Prosecutors dropped the charges in October of that year.
Read the full article. O’Neill has worked as a Fox contributor.
In 2020, O’Neill posted the above selfie just before being ejected from that Delta flight, declaring, “I’m not a pussy.”
In 2021, he called for a Taliban-like coup against Biden, writing, “Did you see how the Taliban rolled through the streets and took back their county? I know a few dudes who would do the same with me right now.”

Trump, during his town hall appearance on NBC Thursday night, passed up the chance to disavow a bizarre conspiracy theory he amplified on Twitter that Osama bin Laden is still alive and that Joe Biden secretly had members of SEAL Team Six killed https://t.co/Lyafnfs00c
