Jonstn Posted March 17, 2012 Lol beast THE director of the massively popular Kony 2012 video about a fugitive Ugandan rebel leader has been arrested on charges of masturbating in public and vandalising cars in San Diego. Jason Russell, co-founder of the humanitarian group Invisible Children, was apparently intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance when he was arrested on Thursday on a street corner in San Diego, police said. Police said they received several calls Thursday about a man in various stages of undress. He was reportedly running through traffic and screaming, dressed only in underwear, according to KNSD-TV. San Diego police said that after his arrest, Russell was acting strangely and was transferred to a medical facility for further care. Invisible Children's CEO Ben Keesey released a statement Friday saying Russell was "hospitalized yesterday [Thursday] suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition. He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better." "The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday," the statement said. Russell catapulted to national fame this month after the "Kony 2012" video went viral. The video focuses on Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, who is accused of recruiting children into sexual slavery and using them to fight against Uganda's government. Since it surfaced on the internet in early March, the 30-minute video has become one of the most viral in history with some 137.2 million views, The Wall Street Journal reported.
