AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said.

John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin's Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade.

The nephew of President Bush was released on $2,500 bond for the resisting arrest charge, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said.

Wade said he had no further details about the charges.

Gov. Bush and his wife Columba appeared Friday evening at a museum reception in Miami.

"My son's doing fine. It's a private matter. We will support him. We're sad for him. But I'm not going to discuss it on the public square with 30 cameras," the governor told reporters.

It's not the first time Florida's first family has experienced legal problems with one of their children.

Noelle Bush, the governor's daughter, was arrested in January 2002 and accused of trying to pass a fraudulent prescription at a pharmacy to obtain the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She completed a drug rehabilitation program in August 2003 and a judge dismissed the drug charges against her. FULL STORY

Remember Noelle Bush's multiple arrests?

I still don't get how people think their religion, or last name, brings them a step above others. It would be ok for Noelle Bush, and John Elles Bush to adopt children, but not a Gay couple. So messed up.

Why do you think the Bush family has these problems? Our current president did cocaine, now his niece and nephew have drug issues, how can people see the Bushes as examples and leaders? Do you think this will impact Jebs probability of running for President, or do you think the American people will let it slide, like they let our current presidents cocaine use slide?
