First-term Republican Rep. Trey Radel of Florida was arrested on October 29 for cocaine possession, according to court documents obtained by Politico. The congressman will make a court appearance on Wednesday. He was officially charged on Tuesday for a misdemeanor possession. Radel is on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Here is the document:

— Rep. Trey Radel (@treyradel) October 29, 2013Radel is probably most internet famous for livetweeting the weirdness of the Skymall catalog. His most rent Buzzfeed community post was a "bro" riff on a series of frattish ads promoting Obamacare. He also wrote an attention-grabbing essay laying out why he describes himself as a "hip-hop conservative."
