Robert J. O’Neill, now 47, was charged with assault causing bodily harm following his arrest.
The latter had to pay a bond of 3500 US dollars in order to be released.
The ex-soldier had been talked about in 2017 when he claimed, in his memoirs, to be the one who had killed the man who orchestrated the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The US government has refused to confirm or deny this story.
Robert O’Neill’s arrest in Texas is not the first incident in which he has been involved.
In 2016, the ex-soldier was arrested for drunk driving in Montana, but the charges were eventually dropped.
The veteran was banned by Delta Airlines in 2020 because he refused to wear the mask on a plane.
