Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s son was arrested Sunday for drug possession.
Alabama.com reported that Caleb Moore, 24, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
Officers had responded to a break-in call and found Moore and four other men outside the house near a pick-up truck that smelled strongly of marijuana. The men denied there were any drugs in the truck, but when officers searched it they found a bag of marijuana in the glove compartment, together with Moore’s passport.
Moore was arrested and taken to city jail.
Chief Justice Moore who infamously issued an order to probate judges and state employees Feb. 8, the day before a federal court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in Alabama was set to take effect, ordering them to disregard the ruling, would not comment on the matter with his son, other than to confirm the arrest.
