‘Bin Laden Killer’ Celebrates Anniversary Days After Alleged Assault Arrest

Just days after his con­tro­ver­sial arrest in Texas, the for­mer Navy SEAL who took down 9/11 mas­ter­mind Osama bin Laden showed no signs of mar­i­tal strife, pro­fess­ing his love for his wife on their wed­ding anniversary.

Robert O’Neill, known for his role in the 2011 Pak­istan raid, found him­self in hot water after an alleged assault at a cig­ar lounge led to his arrest. How­ev­er, the self-pro­claimed “Bin Laden killer” appeared in good spir­its as he paid trib­ute to his partner.

Tak­ing to Insta­gram fol­low­ing the Wednes­day inci­dent, the 47-year-old patri­ot­i­cal­ly penned a sweet mes­sage for his wife Jes­si­ca on their spe­cial day. O’Neill shared inti­mate pho­tos of the lov­ing cou­ple, elic­it­ing hun­dreds of well-wish­es from supporters.

While O’Neill chose not to direct­ly address the legal trou­bles stem­ming from the high-pro­file arrest, law enforce­ment sources say he was charged with assault and pub­lic intox­i­ca­tion before post­ing bail.

Past brush­es with the law include an avi­a­tion dust-up and drunk­en dri­ving case. But fol­low­ing a career serv­ing with SEAL Team 6, O’Neill seems deter­mined to put the lat­est dra­ma behind him as he embraces family.

As details of the alleged alter­ca­tion remain murky, the Spe­cial Forces vet­er­an is seek­ing to redi­rect focus back to the mis­sion — cel­e­brat­ing his mar­riage on social media despite uncer­tain­ty loom­ing over his legal fate.
