Robert James O’Neill, the former member of SEAL Team 6 who claimed to have shot and killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in a 2011 raid was charged with DUI in his hometown of Butte, Mont., Friday.

According to George Skuletich, the undersheriff of Butte-Silver Bow City and County, local officers responded to the parking lot of a local convenience store after multiple complaints of a man sleeping in the front seat of his car with the engine running.

The officers recognized O’Neill, 39, and proceeded to wake him. After a brief conversation, the officers noticed that he was impaired, said Skuletich. The officers then proceeded to administer one field sobriety test–known as the horizontal gaze–that O’Neill failed. O’Neill then refused any further field sobriety tests and was detained.

At the local jail, O’Neill took and failed a second sobriety test and then refused to take a breathalyzer or blood test. He was charged shortly after and released on bond for $685. His license is currently suspended and in the interim he was given a 72 hour temporary driver’s license, as it is his first offense, said Skueletich. O’Neill is expected to appear in court Monday.

Attempts to reach O’Neill were not successful.

I've met a few military "elite" types, and they aren't braggarts.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. Bush and Cheney dont give a shit about the troops and sent them off to certain death

or misery.

Many of them came back in terrible shape only to be told by GOP they are too needy.

This guy may be in need of psychiatric help, and thank goodness Obama and especially Bernie Sanders have been there to try and make things better, but they are still sorely in need of more help.

But the GOP thinks they are whiners.

Obama has sent men and women to war and to die, but he has also fought to improve their lot back at home.

2. RO is not the only former SEAL who claims to be the shooter

of Bin Laden.

6. thank you.

So who if anyone was it really is what I wonder. Maybe both firmly believe their bullit was the one.

8. There may have been multiple shooters that hit him.

Maybe taking a shot at the body just to say they did it.

5. some times even very elite types have flaws

7. Bullets bounced off Superman on television but

he had to duck when someone threw the empty gun at him.
