Bill Murray’s Son Arrested At BLM Protest

Bill Murray’s son Caleb was arrested and charged earlier this week with arson, disorderly conduct and assault and battery on a police officer. Murray was participating at a Black Lives Matter march at Martha’s Vineyard and allegedly got into a fight with police officers responding an incident happening at the protest. The police report claims that after being put into a cell, Murray ‘used a piece of the cell to not only cut himself but cut the deputies’. The report also alleges that Murray said that once he got out, he was going to ‘burn down all the f**king buildings’. It sounds like Caleb took his dad’s Rushmore speech to heart.
