Looks like Jr. Falwell took a drunken spill last month


911 Call From Intoxicated Jerry Falwell Jr.’s House Last Month Describes ‘A Lot Of Blood’

Becki Falwell told the operator that her husband had cuts on his face from falling after he’d been drinking.

One week after Reuters published an explosive report on an alleged sexual and financial relationship between Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife and a Miami man named Giancarlo Granda, responders were called to the Falwells’ house in Bedford County, Virginia.

According to records and 911 audio obtained by HuffPost, on the night of Aug. 30, Jerry Falwell Jr. was intoxicated and apparently injured; his wife, Becki Falwell, described “a lot of blood right now.”

She described being at church around 11 p.m. and receiving a call from her husband, who said he was bleeding after a fall down the stairs. Finding the doors locked when she got home, she used a chair to break through the back door.

The dispatcher asked whether her husband had been drinking alcohol; Becki Falwell said “yes.” When asked if he had been drinking “heavily,” she said, “I’m not going to answer that question.”

The dispatcher explained that alcohol thins the blood and could account for the excessive bleeding, and restated the question.

“The more I tell you the name, the more you’re going to understand why we’re not talking to you right now,” Becki Falwell said. Dispatch logs, obtained by HuffPost via a public records request, state that “He won’t let her take him to the hospital as he is stubborn. Caller was not forthcoming.”

But medics and emergency responders arrived at the residence later that night. A responder observed lacerations on Jerry Falwell Jr.’s face, including under his left eye, across the bridge of his nose, and above both his right and left eyes. The responder also recorded in a report that Jerry Falwell Jr. said he hit his head on a trash can, and that there was “blood in the area he indicated” as well as “empty alcohol containers.” The officer also noted “Jerry had slurred and slowed speach (sic) and would repeat things already asked.”

"“I wish Christians, and people, would be as forgiving as Christ was,” Becki, who did not comment on the scandal when contacted by PEOPLE, told the Post."

I think it interesting that she referred to Christ in the past tense.

Junior and his wife were coked to the gills at the convention, Roger Stone and Steve Bannon look like they're all methed up, and Rudy G's tanked off his rocker... Who are these freaks of the GOP? The people your mother warned you about...

He can stay off the radar for a while, "repent", then start selling huge cans of survival food to his cult.

Pretty soon he'll quit drinking, find the lord - for real this time he'll say - and then start the scam again, just like Swaggart, Bakker, et al. And the sheep will follow.

about living your faith, etc. Maybe someone can get the good stuff and write a book. Hell, the Falwell daughter should give it a try. With parents like these two, why not sell their story to make a buck?

(I used DGregory's name because he wrote a book about living your faith and has done interviews with spiritual leaders.)

They have friends & probably some relatives who know and have expertise in First Aid and psych techniques - if they wanted to keep it quiet. If it was bad enough for hospitalization, the network could get him there.
