MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The son of Alabama's chief justice — who has made national headlines recently for his efforts to block gay marriage in the state — has been arrested on drug charges.
Court records show 24-year-old Caleb Moore, the son of Chief Justice Roy Moore, was arrested Sunday in Troy and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Police, responding to a complaint of a possible break-in, found Caleb Moore and four other men near a white pick-up truck. A police report says an officer smelled marijuana and searched the vehicle, where he found marijuana and Xanax pills on top of a wallet containing Caleb Moore's passport.
Moore is perhaps best known for being removed from office after he refused to remove Ten Commandments monument from the state Supreme Court building.
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
