Beto graduated from Columbia University in 1995, and he was arrested soon after that for committing a burglary at the University of Texas El Paso with two other people.
His father, Patrick Francis O’Rourke, was the El Paso County Judge. While a radio was being installed in his car, a white-powdery substance (described at the time — 1983 — as probably heroin) was found; a close friend who was a police officer flushed the substance down the toilet and was later suspended for the incident. The matter was silenced so that Judge O’Rourke never had to experience any political fallout from it.
Beto’s mother owned a large and lucrative furniture store, pled guilty in 2010 to federal violations for issuing fake invoices on merchandise sold to people from Mexico to avoid paying sales tax, had potential ties to drug cartels, and was basically forced by the IRS to sell the store and accompanying shopping center (co-owned with Beto) right before he announced his run for the U. S. Senate against Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018 mid-terms.
BETO’S REBELLION
Beto has a history of marijuana, alcohol abuse (1995, 1998, 2012), and was arrested for breaking and entering/burglary (1995). Police records show that in 1998, Beto was speeding in a 75 mph. zone on Interstate 10 in Anthony, Texas, lost control of his car, and hit a truck. A witness told police that Beto “attempted to leave the scene.” According to police records, Beto’s blood alcohol level was 0.136 and 1.134 (0.10 is legal limit), and he was “falling down drunk.”
One has to ask whether Beto still uses drugs and/or alcohol heavily since there are many photos showing him sweating profusely while standing next to people who are not. (Alcohol, marijuana, Morphine, and Oxy can all cause profuse sweating.) |
