Will Russell facing drug, bribery charges

Troubled times for Louisville businessman Will Russell continue.

The owner of WHY Louisville and Funtown Mountain was arrested during the Horse Cave Heritage Festival Saturday night while carrying around a child's lunchbox that contained an assortment of pills, according to a report in the Bowling Green Daily News.

A woman at the festival reportedly told police that Russell approached her that he was "extremely messed up."

Police interviewed Russell and found the pills inside the lunchbox. Russell was also in possession of a marijuana pipe that he admittedly smoked just before the police interview.

Russell also allegedly offered police officers "anything" if they would let him go, including a role in his next movie.

Russell is charged with public intoxication, possession of drug paraphernalia, prescription of a controlled substance not in the proper container, second-degree disorderly conduct and bribery of a public servant.

Last Thursday, according to the report, Russell was jailed on a felony charge of wanton endangerment after allegedly setting a fire in his Louisville home.
