JEB BUSH'S DAUGHTER GETS 10 DAYS IN JAIL

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter was sentenced to 10 days in 
jail and led away in handcuffs Thursday after being accused of having crack 
cocaine in her shoe while in drug rehab.

Noelle Bush, 25, kissed her aunt Dorothy Koch as a sheriff's deputy cuffed 
her behind the back. Koch is the sister of President Bush and the governor, 
who was not in court.

In a statement, the governor said he realizes that his daughter must face 
the consequences of her actions.

"Every parent of a child with an addiction understands that the long road 
to recovery is never easy and that there are numerous challenges along the 
way," he said. "This is a very difficult time for all of us ... and I pray 
every day our beautiful daughter will once again know a life free from the 
horrors of substance abuse."
