总统女儿酗酒被指控
Texas police cited both of President Bush‘s 19-year-old twin daughters on misdemeanor alcohol charges today for a night out at an Austin restaurant earlier this week.
Jenna and Barbara Bush both face misdemeanor charges. Jenna, who less than a month ago pleaded "no contest" to possession of alcohol charges, was cited for
showing another person‘s identification to buy drinks. Barbara, along with a 20-year-old friend who was with them, was cited for possession of alcohol.
The charges stem from an incident Tuesday night, when Austin police were called to a Tex-Mexican restaurant in south Austin. The manager had called to report that
minors were trying to buy alcohol.
The president was trying to keep the embarrassing family incident private today. Bush has told his daughters that he loves them, and reminded them he and first lady
Laura Bush would work hard to keep the teenage girls out of the public eye.
But with the very public incident this week, the family is quoted as saying advice from parent to child is going to remain private.
If Jenna is convicted, both this incident and the earlier incident would remain on her permanent record. If convicted of alcohol offenses two more times under Texas
law, Jenna faces fines up to $2,000 and possible jail time.
