Marine formerly jailed in Mexico, who became a cause celebre among conservatives, has been arrested again in Georgia.

Andrew Paul Tahmooressi, the Marine reservist who made international headlines during his seven-month imprisonment in Mexico, was arrested in Georgia. Tahmooressi was arrested in Twin City, Georgia, on Wednesday for a traffic violation, carrying an open container and for refusing to take a DUI test, his spokesman said. 

"He will be arraigned in the morning," spokesman Jonathan Franks said late Wednesday night. 

Tahmooressi made news around the world after his arrest on March 31, 2014, at a Tijuana, Mexico, checkpoint. 

Mexican customs agents found three firearms in his truck, including a .45-caliber pistol, a pump shotgun and an AR-15 rifle. The country's strict federal gun laws prohibit anyone from illegally bringing weapons into the country. 

Tahmooressi maintained that he took a wrong turn on the California side of the border into Tijuana and accidentally crossed the border.

As I am sure almost everybody here remembers this Tahmooressi guy received tons of support from conservatives who claimed that he was being held in Mexico on trumped up charges, and demanded that President Obama secure his release.

Of course a lot of us, myself included, remained unconvinced that this guy was quite the victim that the Right Wing was portraying him to be. (More on that here courtesy of Mexico Trucker.)

I remember how thrilled the Righties (Including our own Sarah Palin) were when this guy finally got released, almost as if he were a prisoner of ISIS rather than some dumbass who crossed the Mexican border with a car full of firearms.

So now this conservative "hero" has been arrested once again, this time in America, and the charge is having an open container of alcohol and for refusing to take a DUI test.

Of course you know the only reason that somebody usually resists taking a DUI test is becasue they know full well they will fail it.

Gee I wonder how long it will be before Sarah Palin and the conservatives start demanding his release from the Georgia jail, and start bitching that President Obama is doing nothing for this brave man who fought for all of our freedoms?
