Gregg Jarrett, Fox News Anchor, Arrested After Incident At Minneapolis Airport Bar

[okaawhatever]

Source: Huffington Post

Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett was arrested on Tuesday after an incident in a bar at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.

A roster at Hennepin County Jail shows Jarrett, 59, being held on obstructing the legal process by interfering with a peace officer, a misdemeanor. His bail was set at $300.

The news came just days after it was announced that Jarrett, a weekend anchor, would be taking time off for "personal reasons," TV Newser reported last week.

Police responded to a report of a drunken man at the Northern Lights Grill in the airport's main terminal, the Star Tribune reports. When they arrived, Jarrett appeared to be drunk and refused to obey orders, according to KARE.

1. What is with Republicans and airports?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. It's the waiting. It makes their "mind" wander into places normal people never consider.

[azurnoir]

21. what is it with Republicans and the Mpls-St Paul airport?

That's where Larry Craig got busted too

[question everything]

41. They figure that no one will recognize them

wait until the place is swarmed with super bowl crazies in 2018

[geardaddy]

61. We just know how to catch Repubs

in our airport.

[yeoman6987]

36. Clearly he has some inner demonds

and needs to get some help. Hopefully he does.

[Dustlawyer]

38. Maybe his guilt at being a Republican shill is pushing his drinking up several notches!

Naw, they have no moral compass or conscience!

[calimary]

43. OY! And wasn't that the infamous "wide stance" airport, too?

Minneapolis, wasn't it? Aaaaaaand everybody's favorite GOP men's room adventurer, laaarrrrrryyy craig!!!

[Fearless]

44. Yes it is.

[yellowcanine]

49. Yes, the cops ordered Jarrett to "assume the position" when they arrested him.

[underpants]

55. Yes same airport

[rocktivity]

47. Especially airports in Minnesota?

50. I always think of Tony Orlando's "Knock Three Times" when I see that.

Drat. Now that song is in my head.

[czarjak]

2. Greg Greg Greg

Smarmy smuck.

[davidpdx]

3. Are we sure it happened in the bar and not the bathroom?

I'm not entirely sure the Republicans can tell the difference.

[jberryhill]

28. That's a punch line in search of a joke

"I'm sorry ociffer, I didn't know I was in the bathroom. I thought I was at the bar. No wonder the women were ugly and the drinks tasted funny."

[reflection]

45. .

[davidpdx]

58. You mean the drinks tasted a bit salty

[jberryhill]

59. Weird beer tap handles, too!

[Voice for Peace]

4. maybe Fox has driven him over the edge.

[Zambero]

9. Fairly unbalanced?

From a no-spin zone to a no-fly zone, for him anyway.

[Voice for Peace]

12. !! very good turn of phrase.

Your post made me think of donuts, I don't know why.

mmm

[No Vested Interest]

5. Even though he's with Fox News, you gotta feel

a little sorry for him.
Obviously, something's going wrong in his life.

[olddad56]

8. I don't.

[No Vested Interest]

13. Well, he's 59, and all kinds of tough things can happen

around that age. Relationship problems? Getting passed up at work by younger people? Money problems? Health and youth fading? Loss of respect from contemporaries and others?
And it's not as easy to come back from problems at that age.

I hope he takes that long leave of absence he's been needing and then see what the world holds for him.

And, no, I'm not a fan of any of them.

[vlakitti]

14. Nice comment. Thanks.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

40. Being 59 years old on the universally disrespected himbo/bimbo channel is probably not a good spot.

What comes after Fox?

[HangOnKids]

46. So he has problems like the rest of us GOT IT

But he deals with those problems by getting shit faced and being belligerent in an airport bar? The part about the long leave of absence that he needs has me howling. Oh and the what the world holds for him comment is precious!

[awoke_in_2003]

11. True...

substance abuse is insidious.

[COLGATE4]

33. Yep. I understand that he has a

terminal case of assholishness. No known cure.

[Kalidurga]

56. lol

I understand that he has a terminal case of assholishness

you said terminal *snort*

[gvstn]

6. Damn, I wish it had been Neil Cavuto.

Gregg Jarrett is a hack but Cavuto makes my skin crawl.

Jarrett:
\
Cavuto:


Maybe it is because I only see Cavuto come on after Shep (the only time I turn on FoxNews to see what he says are the top stories of the day) but I always turn off Fox at 4:00p.m. when Cavuto starts whining about being oppressed and paying too many taxes. I'm not sure when Jarrett comes on. Is Jarrett as bad as Cavuto?

[klook]

19. I watch Fox Noose for about 5 seconds a month

when I accidentally fat-finger that channel # or scroll past it on the way to somewhere else.

Wait, I take that back -- I see them for several minutes a week on The Daily Show.

[Mnpaul]

27. If you hate Cavuto

you will love this clip

[tom_kelly]

37. Cavuto's voice

always makes me think of the green martian from Bugs Bunny

7. ''WhHaThELLdOUmeanImDruNk?!

I'mmmm perrrfectyclie soburrrr dammit!!! An I'm a Cerlbrity So you buttr wtach out!''

These were the last words spoken before Mr. Jarrett passed-out into the lap of Mrs. Minnie Franklhorn, 87, of Boise, Idaho, who does not know him, nor she has ever heard of him before.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. I picture him crying at a bar with a row of teeny tiny bottles.

17. I hope he gets help

my brother died of alcoholism and I just can't make fun of people when alcohol is taking a toll

18. What a Smug Douche

I wish they would have snuck in a good taser shot.

[jberryhill]

30. "Can I have a smug douche and a taser shot?"

And the bartender says, "I can get you the taser shot, but I can't mix a smug douche because my girlfriend's not working today."

Here's his mugshot:

Full story, so far.

BTW, I'd be willing to bet money Jarrett will get "disappeared" at Faux.
And no story will be broadcast why.

[BeyondGeography]

22. Looking like hell but still ready for his close-up

I'm good, I'm good...

[Rhinodawg]

25. Maybe Zimmerman will come to his rescue.

[Rhinodawg]

24. Anyone happen to see Larry "Wide Stance" Craig there ?

[liberal N proud]

26. Pushing the propaganda is forcing them to drink

[YOHABLO]

29. Maybe he's getting ready to crackup because of the lies FOX perpetuates .. Maybe he'll be the

one to come 'clean' and write a tell-all about the organizations disinformation he's been told to tell

[ChairmanAgnostic]

31. Breaking: Fox blames Obama for Jarrett's arrest

Suggesting that TSA was working on his orders. "Too many times Mr. Jarrett aired true and hard hitting segments that described the president as the Kenyan terrorist Muslim that he was."

[okaawhatever]

48. Oh gosh, my mind didn't even go there but now that you mention it....... nt

[ChairmanAgnostic]

52. a warped mind must be fed and watered.

Otherwise it goes stale. Kinda like our military. If we don't use it, we lose it, or so W thought.

[okaawhatever]

53. Lolz. nt

[riqster]

34. A Fox employee walks into a bar...

I just HAD to.

[KansDem]

54. A CNN anchor, a MSNBC anchor, and a FOX News anchor walk into a bar...

The CNN anchor says, "I'll have a dry martini," and the MSNBC anchor says, "I'll have one, too." The FOX News anchor says, "Some people say I want what they're having."

[riqster]

57. Or "a Ben-ghazi".

35. How soon before we see "Gregg Jarrett - (D)" at the bottom of the screen? n/t

[Shankapotomus]

39. Fox News

Drunk & Off Balance

[dhill926]

42. I'm in airports a lot….

I also like to drink at airport bars. You would have to be REALLY drunk to get arrested at one. And REALLY acting like an asshole.

[Rhymes With Orange]

51. Oh come on. Who among us hasn't been drunk and disorderly at an airport? nt

[Android3.14]

60. Turning into a thing you despise can drive anyone to drink

The guy was once a defense lawyer, MSNBC anchor, and graduated magna cum laude with a journalism degree. He's no idiot. I'm betting he hates himself, because he knows the idealistic journalist he once was would despise the Fox News whore drinking in that airport bar.
