If you needed another reason to be skeptical of the ‘Invisible Children’ organization, here it is. TMZ is reporting that head honcho, Jason Russell, was detained yesterday for allegedly being drunk in public and masturbating.

Jason Russell was taken into custody by San Diego cops.  In addition to allegedly masturbating, cops say he vandalized cars. TMZ reports that Mr. Russell was dancing around the Intersection of Ingraham and Riviera wearing “speedo-like underwear” … and eventually removed the underwear and began to make sexual gestures.

Cops told NBC, “Officers detained [Russell] and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment.”

Today, The CEO of Invisible Children, Ben Keesey, tells TMZ …”Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition.”
The statement continues, “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.”
“Jason’s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time.”
