A virgin birth. Yep, full-on immaculate

has been arrested and charged with
disorderly intoxication.
After a night out with friends,
Truex was ticketed for urinating in the
corner of a parking garage connected to
Ocean Walk Shoppes in Daytona Beach.
The pit stop cost him a 208-
dollar ticket from a Volusia County
Beach Patrol officer, and a lot of
embrassment.
The police report says he had to
be asked seven times to put his hands
behind his back before he cooperated
with authorities.
It also states that when the
police officer approached Truex, he
told him he hoped what he was doing was
worth 100- dollars, and that Truex
responded by pulling out a 100- dollar
bill.
Truex has appologized to his fans
and his sponsor, Bass Pro shops.
