Jeb Bush's Daughter Is Arrested on Charge of Faking Prescription January 30, 2002 The New York Times By DANA CANEDY IAMI, Jan. 29 - Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter was arrested early this morning and charged with prescription fraud after she illegally tried to obtain the antianxiety drug Xanax from a Walgreens pharmacy in Tallahassee, the police said. The police said the governor's daughter, Noelle, 24, posing as a Dr. Noel Scidmore, called in the prescription late Monday night. Ms. Bush, who is President Bush's niece, was arrested by a Tallahassee police officer at 1:15 a.m. today after she tried to pick up the prescription, the police said. The pharmacist on duty, Carlos Zimmerman, became suspicious because the prescription did not include a quantity. He called the doctor's answering service and was told that Dr. Scidmore no longer practiced in the state and that the prescription appeared to be fraudulent. When Ms. Bush arrived, Mr. Zimmerman called the police, he said in a police statement. The police described Ms. Bush as "very shaky" when she was questioned at the scene. Officers obtained a copy of the recorded prescription order and asked Ms. Bush whether she had posed as the doctor. "My observation is that the voice on the voice mail and the voice of Miss Bush appear identical," Officer Mark Dent said in a report. Ms. Bush denied having called in the prescription, but admitted that the phone line used to make the call was a second line at her home, the authorities said. She was released without bond pending an arraignment on Thursday. She could get up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine if convicted. A 2000 graduate of Tallahassee Community College, Ms. Bush was to have begun a job today as an administrative assistant for Infinity Software Development in Tallahassee. The company said in a statement that the job offer still stood. Governor Bush issued a statement today but said neither he nor the family would comment further. "Columba and I are deeply saddened over an incident that occurred last night involving our daughter, Noelle," Governor Bush said in the statement. Ms. Bush is the second of the governor's three children and his only daughter. Governor Bush's statement acknowledged that she had a substance abuse problem. "This is a very serious problem," it said. "Substance abuse is an issue confronting many families across our nation. We ask the public and the media to respect our family's privacy during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter." Ms. Bush's cousins, the president's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, were arrested last year on charges of under-age drinking and pleaded no contest. nytimes.com

Bush Daughter Gets Probation for Bar Drink June 9, 2001 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A USTIN, Tex., June 9 - Barbara Bush, one of President Bush's 19-year-old twin daughters, has pleaded no contest to under-age drinking and been sentenced to three months' probation. Her twin, Jenna, has pleaded not guilty to misrepresenting her age while trying to buy a drink with someone else's identification. The Austin Municipal Court set a hearing date of July 31 for the case. In addition to probation, Barbara was sentenced on Thursday to eight hours of community service and attendance at an alcohol-awareness class, court records show. The two were cited on May 29 after an incident at a restaurant here. Jenna pleaded no contest last month to under-age drinking charges in a separate incident and was ordered to undergo alcohol counseling and perform community service. A police report obtained by The Austin American-Statesman gave this account of the latest incident: The Bush sisters and a 20-year-old friend, Jesse Day-Wickham, handed driver's licenses to a waitress who had asked for identification. The waitress had doubts about the identification presented by Jenna and asked the restaurant manager to double-check. The manager told Jenna she would not be served, and the waitress took alcohol to Barbara Bush and Ms. Day-Wickham. When the bartender saw Jenna drinking and other patrons said they recognized Barbara, the manager called 911. As the twins started to leave the restaurant, the police stopped them and asked Jenna for the identification she used when she tried to order a drink. She handed it over and started crying. "She then stated that I do not have any idea what it is like to be a college student and not be able to do anything that other students get to do," an officer wrote in his report. nytimes.com
