GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — The son of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore has been arrested in Alabama on a third-degree criminal trespass charge.
Etowah County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Natalie Barton told local news outlets that 27-year-old Caleb Moore turned himself in Monday on the charge related to an arrest last year. He was accused of hunting without permission and hunting over bait.
Barton says Caleb Moore was released after a few minutes on $1,000 bond.
Caleb Moore was arrested on drug charges in 2015, but the charges were ultimately dropped against him after he agreed to enter a pre-trial diversion program.
Roy Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, is facing Democrat Doug Jones in the special election for the U.S. Senate seat on Dec. 12.
If daddy’s gonna be a senator, we got to tie up some of these loose ends. Don’t want folks getting wrong ideas about his kin.
What are the statistics on these prominent Bible-thumpers having kids who are always in trouble? Does seem to go hand in hand. The Pugilistic Palins come to mind.
I pray to God Moore makes it to the Senate so he can embarrass the Repulsives, but quite frankly, his son shooting deer, over bait, on someone else’s land, without permission is a non-story.
Forget the hunting thing… the story says he was arrested for drugs but … while his father was a state supreme court justice… the charges were dropped? Is there a story there?
Dropped after he entered a pre-trial diversion program. Depending on the offense and his age at the time, not uncommon.
