"KONY 2012 director and co-founder of Invisible Children Jason Russell was arrested by police in San Diego Thursday evening. \nRussell was detained in the Pacific Beach neighborhood, with charges of public drunkenness and lewd behavior, NBC San Diego reports.\nThe 33-year-old father of two shot to fame this month after the 30-minute documentary film he made calling for the arrest of LRA leader Joseph Kony became an Internet sensation. KONY 2012 is now the most viral video of all time.\nMimicking the hashtag #kony2012, which trended on Twitter following the film's release, #horny2012 became the leading worldwide trend. San Diego Police Department Lt. Andra Brown says Russell was found vandalizing cars. \n\"He was no problem for the police department however, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him,\" Brown told the press. \"So officers detained him and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment.\"\nThe San Diego Police Department has not responded to Mashable's request for comment (see update below).\nInvisible Children's CEO Ben Keesey released a statement after 1:40 p.m. PT saying:\n\"Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition. 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\u2019s 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.\"\nUpdate: The San Diego Police Department responded to our inquiry with the following statement:\n\n\"The SDPD is NOT identifying the male involved other than to say he is a 33 year old male resident in the area. We will NOT confirm his name. If you name the male in your story, you MAY NOT attribute it to me or the San Diego Police Department.   \nThe male was detained and transported to a medical facility for evaluation and treatment.  He was not arrested, there is no booking photo. \nI hope this statement will  assist you.\"\n\nThis story is developing. Mashable will update the story if we learn more."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
