The former Navy SEAL who claimed to have killed Osama bin Laden was arrested in Texas this week.
Robert J. O’Neill, 47, was arraigned Wednesday in Frisco and charged with a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication, although jail records only list the assault charge, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Frisco police declined to release more information Friday about the arrest.
O’Neill was released the same day on $3,500 bond.
O’Neill had been in town to record a podcast at a local cigar lounge.
He did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.
A former member of SEAL Team 6, O’Neill gained notoriety after he took credit for firing the shot that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden during a secret raid in 2011.
O’Neill told the story in his 2017 memoir “The Operator.”
The United States government has never confirmed or denied the story.
O’Neill’s Texas bust is far from the first time she’s been embroiled in controversy.

The outspoken vet was banned by Delta Airlines in 2020 for refusing to wear a mask.
In 2016 he was arrested for drunken driving in Montana, a charge that was later dropped by prosecutors, CBS News reported.
The veteran is also one of the backers of Armed Forces Brewing Co., a Virginia microbrewer born amid controversy over Bud Light’s sponsorship of LGBTQ influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
