DALLAS — Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling was arrested and accused of public intoxication in Dallas earlier this month, but he will not go to jail early for violating the terms of his $5 million bond.

According to a Dallas Police Department report, Skilling was arrested about 1:45 a.m. Sept. 9 in the 3600 block of McKinney Avenue in Dallas.

...

A jury convicted Skilling in May of 19 counts of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and lying to auditors in the government's foremost case to emerge from its Enron investigation following the company's 2001 crash. He plans to appeal.

He faces 20 to 30 years in prison, and currently is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 23.

1. Hell, I would be drinking, too.

Because he will have a long time to think about it.

2. I don't fault the guy for drinking. I'm sure I would be blitzed every

night before they put my ass in prison for 20-30 years! The problem is, what the hell was he doing that got him arrested? It really is very difficult to get arrested for public intoxication in Texas!

5. I doubt he'll go to prison. He seems to be trying to drink himself

to death. I DO feel for his brother, Tommy Skilling, Chicago's best&obsessed weatherman, tho. How embarassing.
