Third Time’s The Charm? Son Of Anti-Gay Extremist Judge Roy Moore Again Arrested For Drugs
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s son has once again been arrested on drug-related charges.Â
Reports indicate this is the third drug-related arrest for Caleb Moore, the 24-year old son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.Â
Moore “was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana,” AL.com reports today. “Several Xanax pills also were found in the bag” of marijuana.
According to court documents, officers responded to the 1200 block of Allen Street in Troy to a report of an attempted home break-in. They found five men, including Moore, outside near a pickup truck that smelled strongly of marijuana.
In 2013 Caleb Moore pleaded guilty to drug-related charges, AL.com notes, and in 2011 “he was arrested and charged with drug possession and driving under the influence.”
USA Today adds that Moore “has been charged with possession of marijuana in the second degree, a Class A misdemeanor, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class C felony.”
Just a few months ago, in January, Caleb Moore “told AL.com that he has done things he isn’t proud of and acted ‘young and immature,’ but ‘that’s why God gives us salvation.'”
“I’ve done nothing more than any other college kids,” he told AL.com “Because of who I am, it gets blown out of proportion. Since then I’ve got in a closer walk with the Lord. Whatever anyone says about me, it doesn’t bother me. The people who know me and know what’s true can really see what’s going on here and see through critics of my dad.”
Joe Jervis reports “tax records appear to indicate that in 2012 he worked part-time for the virulently anti-gay Foundation For Moral Law, which was founded by his father and is now headed by his mother, Kayla Moore.”
