Kony mastermind arrested for public masturbation.
The star and director of the viral YouTube video Kony 2012 was suffering from severe exhaustion and dehydration when he was arrested Thursday night for allegedly being drunk and masturbating in public, his wife and charity says.
According to NBC and TMZ, Jason Russell, 33, was detained in Pacific Beach, Calif., at 11:30 a.m. for being drunk, publicly masturbating and vandalizing cars.
NBC reported that police responded to a call about a man in “various stages of undress.” The San Diego Police Department did not immediately respond to QMI Agency’s request for comment.
The CEO of Invisible Children, the charity Russell co-founded, said Russell was sick at the time.
