The adult son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was arrested on Sunday and charged with drug possession, AL.com reported Monday.

Police officers were responding to a reported home invasion in Troy, Alabama, when they encountered 24-year-old Caleb Moore and four other men by a pickup truck that smelled like marijuana, according to AL.com.

The five men denied they had drugs in the vehicle, but when officers searched the truck, they found a bag of marijuana and several Xanax pills, as well as Moore’s passport, AL.com reported.

Moore was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance, the website reported.

  1. Thou shalt not do drugs isn’t in the commandments

  2. I hope Moore insists that his son be sentenced with the same severity that a similar young black man would receive.

    'Cause I’m sure Moore is ALL about fairness!

  3. To quote Nelson Muntz “HA-HA!”

  4. I’m sympathetic. If I had Roy for a father, I’d be smoking crack daily.

  5. Not only were they in possession of illegal drugs, but they lied to the cops, too.
