Alex Jones from Infowars was reportedly arrested on DWI charges in Austin, Texas on Monday night.

The popular radio host and political activist was later released after blowing below the legal limit.

According to Jones he wanted to get out in front of the story before the liberal media launched their smear campaign.

NewsWars reported:

Alex Jones was cleared of a ‘driving while intoxicated’ charge by blowing less than a 0.08 – the legal limit in Texas for DWI – which in itself is an incredibly low threshold.

The paperwork shows that Jones admitted to drinking a small amount of sake at a Japanese restaurant hours before with his wife, which was proven truthful after the breathalyzer test showed a tiny amount of alcohol – well under the legal limit in the Lone Star State.

Alex is famous for driving his tank around at rallies and special events.
