Austin, Texas: A nephew of US President George Bush repeatedly pushed against an officer who was trying to handcuff him during his arrest on suspicion of public intoxication, according to an affidavit.

John Ellis Bush, 21, whose father is Florida Governor Jeb Bush, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) at 2.30am on Friday in Austin's Sixth Street bar district.

Bush had approached the state agents and Austin police officers to ask about an arrest earlier of people he knew.

Officers said he appeared intoxicated and could have posed a danger to himself and others, said TABC Captain David Ferrero.

"Subject further resisted by pushing back with his body as he was restrained at the transport van," the document said.

Agents did not know who Bush was until they had arrested him and looked at his driver's licence, Ferrero said.

During the arrest, Bush suffered a cut on his chin, Ferrero said.

Bush was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. He was taken to the county jail and later released.

Public intoxication is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $US500 ($657) fine. Resisting arrest is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

5. His little ass is fried!

The Travis County DA is Ronnie Earle, the same guy that's working to indict Tom Delay in Texas. This kid will get no favors when he's prosecuted. This won't be like his uncle president's cocaine conviction in Houston that mysteriously disappeared from the records.

Hah! This will give him national exposure for his inevitable run for statewide office. When you are a Bush you are never to young to start feeding at and fucking up the public trough.
