Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's son arrested, charged with drug possession in Troy

The son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was arrested Sunday for drug possession near the scene of an attempted break-in, court records show.

Caleb Moore, 24, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession 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.

After the men said there were no drugs in the vehicle, officers searched the truck and found a bag of marijuana in the glove compartment, along with Moore's passport. Several Xanax pills also were found in the bag.

Moore was arrested and taken to the city jail. He was released on bond totaling $8,500.

Moore addressed the charges in a Facebook post on Monday afternoon:

"This is nothing more than a prime example of how media and crooked police officers and critics of my dad try to not only destroy his career for what he stands for but will go as far as trying to destroy his family," he wrote. "I am not a drug user as the drug test taken today will show. As for the malicious possession charges, justice will be served."

Riiiiiight...the media planted those pills in your bag, Caleb.

Gee whiz. What is up with the "family values" loudmouths or their kids not practicing what they preach? Like Larry Craig, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, Roy Ashburn, George Rekers, and now Roy Moore's son?
