How proud Senator Nelson must be.

Bill Nelson's son pepper sprayed, arrested in Orlando
BY ERIKA BERAS

It started as a good night for the Nelsons. Bill Nelson, the Democratic
senator from Florida, easily beat his opponent, Katherine Harris.
But while his father got a second six-year term in Washington, Nelson's
adult son got a face full of pepper spray and a trip to jail. Charles William
Nelson, 30, of Rockledge was arrested by Orlando police.

The charges: battery on a law officer, disorderly intoxication and resisting
arrest without violence. ... Remaining behind were Charles Nelson, a
second unidentified man and a woman who appeared to have passed out.

According to the police report, the responding officer asked if the woman,
Kimberly Baxter, was all right.

''She is fine,'' Nelson replied. ''I'll take her to the hotel.''

Nelson appeared intoxicated, the report says. The police officer radioed
for an ambulance to check on the condition of Baxter. Nelson insisted she
was fine, the report says, picked her up and began to ''drag'' her away.
The officer told Nelson to halt. He dropped the woman, the report says,
nearly hitting her head on the base plate of a traffic control device.
